Reckless Lyfestyle

I’m just an idiot that likes to modify everything and enjoy fabricating. I have a lot of project vehicles that I race, autocross, and off-road. I love it all. Motorcycles, Jeeps, trucks, sports cars, muscle cars etc. Now to decide what I put the LSX in……

    If those are actually aluminum Crush washers, I believe they're more Ben likely more zinc than they are aluminum. But I would still use copper. I do not like the galvanic effect of putting aluminum or zinc. Exposing such an assembly to atmosphere or moisture is not a good thing. Copper is better at resisting the corrosion caused by galvanic action. There is a procedure for reusing copper Crush washers. I will not go into that with somebody who's admittedly a novice. I'm always surprised by the fact that I had two Chrysler 300C and they both had larger front rotors than these pickup trucks do with their big brake kit. Why did you put the different side rotor on the front than you did on the rear??
