Hiya B.B. and Mr. Stevens,

My own advice is usually new rotors with new brake pads.

'Cause toilet-rado, the hyperpriced property scam state (the state statutes drive up property values massively as well as TX and CA folks coming here by the wheelbarrow) makes a rental garage with power and light be like $500 to, in stupid Boulder, $3000 a month, for a regular garage or a double-wide garage with roll-up doors.

I have a collection of the front and rear brake shims and re-use these if not provided. Always blue box Volvo. I used PBR metal master pads and these thing rusted in the caliper. Braking was awful with these.

I got a set of regular Zimmermans once (not sure of the brand, yet appeared made in Duetchland, made in China versions, and the things warped rather quickly with new pads, and all new hardware, like each time. I forget what pads I used. Maybe the terrible PBR metal masters?

I have no means to fabricate a thing in my 30-month escape from the un-flushed toilet named St. Louis, MO. (Walk around in Central West End or Soulard or Dogtown and Downtown on hot Summer days and you get the fragrance, and the trash collection is failing again, adding more aroma.) I could not ever get a job for any city trash collection in the 1980s in St. Louis city or county as I did not want to move to Kalifarnia with a drunk relative. Unions?

Not resourceful like the Snake Bliskin character. That film was filmed in the 1979 toilet St. Louis. MO version, and East St. Louis, not New York.

So merely brake pads and do so in some vacant car park. The rear calipers need it also. And I need to flush in new DOT4. Way overdue.

Or motor to a more utilitarian and useful state, yet much corruption in WY and MT.

Merely to find a safe place to reside and be able to work the three 240s. yet brakes and a transmission mount (not yet broken) before the motor mounts get distressed.

The 1992 GL and the 1990 DL li'l red wagon rot in a an outdoor storage facility well west of St. Louis, since OCT 2021. They each have COVID masks on. Ha.
