Back Working on My TVR Vixen 2500
October 5, 2023
Today I get back to the 1972 TVR Vixen 2500 project and finally fix the front brakes for good. If you are ordering these calipers be careful because there are two versions, the newer version uses metric bolts and pins. Cars built in or after 1972 might be using the metric version.
