91rs - if its chafing wear..... why not slip on a SS sheath to protect? Or is it pressure rating?

91RS

This time is the first time it has chafed and also the first time I've had trouble with the only braided stainless line in the kit! All previous failures were in the rubber hoses and because of poor quality, pressure rating, bad clamps, etc. I'd just prefer to have it properly crimped and with stainless line like, in my opinion, it should have come. However, I guess if the kit is installed at Kleemann in CO it would have "come" that way.

No problems with my fuel system installed zen master Cory. )

I don't wish it on anyone but I'm glad to hear I'm not alone with my fuel hose ordeal (Aside from vacuum line ordeal. And my fuel regulator ordeal. And throttle cable connector ordeal. And most recently my fuel pump relay and water pump relay ordeal) . Hopefully now it's now permanently behind me. One thing I must say though is none of the issues had to do with the quality, integrity, and dependability of the Kleemann kit and their outstanding customer service. All the problems were brought about by installer error, sad to say. (That's a whole other thread/topic though so we won't go there... ) Moving along moving along.

91RS, I used the -6 size type 210 hose from Goodridge and the hoses and clamps have been holding up remarkably well under the hood and near my fuel pump underneath the car for the last 8 months of hot, humid, and typhoon weather.

Also, I don't recall having any problems fitting the goodridge -6 size hose all along my fuel line so I'm pretty sure it fit. I changed my hoses between the fuel filter, Kleemann fuel regulator, and braided line to the fuel rail.

The combination of the hoses and these goodridge clamps have been really durable. These were the clamps I used: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOODRIDGE-...30973275256%26

I hope yours gets sorted out soon.

Lucky lucky you. How I wish I could have had the install done at Kleemann HQ.

Just dropped my used clk63 6/4 calipers at jc autobody for new red paint job, and amg emblem kit.

Progress!

91RS

I want to have my calipers powder coated green!

betrezra

wow 91... those really stand out...... I'll go red for my ride..... but I do see the copper, pinks, purples, greens making their way onto the really high end stuff and the really low end stuff....... I'll play it safe and go red.

91RS

Normally I wouldn't like something like that, but I think it looks really good because it goes with the black so well. I've seen a few vehicles with copper that looked good, but that really depends on the car, color, and wheels. Red will look good on your car with the gray and black wheels, but it's a little too common for me with my black car and gray wheels. I don't like the "odd" colors that don't have any contrast at all. I did Red Jewel calipers on my blue Trailblazer. I wanted to do yellow, but I found a great deal on the red ones already done.

betrezra

Red looks good on the SS! Corvette motor eh? Cool truck.

Found a nice set of used Renn-tech mono-lites on fleabay.... but they are dinged up a bit, and I don't want more used projects that need work. Still shopping for a reasonably priced lw wheel for my ride. I'll take my time on it.

dre5373

Agreed! The Trailblazer SS is a real sleeper!

Are these the same Monolites on the forum?

Tempted by them myself but too many other things to take care of right now

Got my calipers done in red new stickers..... time to install

megacrazy

Nice. I like that it's a darker shade of red and not the usual caliper red.

betrezra

The paint guy surprised me. I just wanted red. I dig it.

AMGY

Looking good bro

The CLK63 bmpr really "makes" the car.

maverik259

du ever get those part numbers for those triangle covers in the corners of the left and right side...I think they're whats labled on my list as "screw covers" 2098850222 and 2098850122

Thanks

betrezra

Amgy- thanks! I agree totally transforms the look.

Mav- yes I did. Don't recall pn, but got them.

Next step for me:
Install clk63 bbk.
Sell the rotora bbk.
Fix the goofy in dash cup holder.

maverik259

lol well that doesn't help me whatsoever! i see you have them in your pics haaha

betrezra

Finally done.... AMG BBK installed.

betrezra

I'm selling the ROTORA BBK I bought off of here... pics below.
It's a 6/4 setup with slotted/crossdrilled 2 pc rotors.
Consider the sale for the calipers, SS brake lines, and hats, and hardware.

YOU GET THE CURRENT <1000K Mile Rotor Discs for FREE.

Plan on buying new replacement rotor discs from ROTORA for at least the front. I'm guessing the rears are fine. I failed to brake in the fronts properly resulting in an annoying intermittant shimmy shake when braking...... rotora claims this is due to uneven deposit of brake pad mat'l on rotors. If it was a race car I would just run them as is..... under hard braking they are OK.... but on the street plan on getting replacement rotors to bolt on the hats up front.

Also includes <1000K mile new pads all around.

I'll make someone a good deal on this kit..... I paid over $2500..... will take $1800 shipped in lower 48 states.

THESE WORK ON: W209 and W203. You have to modify the rear brake dust shields to fit the rear 4 pots. It's not hard to do with a cut off wheel.

These brakes will stop your car in a very dramatic fashion!
