It always starts, but takes more cranking after it sits overnight. Any ideas, TIA, Jim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 11:48:54 -0500 From: "Paul Craven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: <OT> Jeep Brake Pads Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all, Sorry to waste bandwidth this far off topic, but I recently acquired a 1980 CJ-7 (basically the polar opposite of my M5). I like the simple, don't worry about it nature of it, but the brakes suck. It has front disks, rear drums and no power assist. I have inspected eveything and it all works as it should, but the pedal effort is waaaay high, even for non-powered brakes. I suspect the PO but on cheap, crappy pads. Can anyone recommend a pad for this thing? Bite, feel ,and noise are concerns, but I don't see frequent highs speed stops (and the heat resisitance required) mattering much. Similarly, dust is trivial as well. Most of the hard core jeep guys just convert to power brakes, but it seems like there should be a pad that will work well without the expense and complications of a conversion kit.
