1:56 can you tell me please how thick is the spacer plate? Mine are missing so i have to order some or Just to make them

[@citro-garage]

Sorry but I didn't measure it before mounting and I cannot answer you now. But I try to be helpful anyway telling you the Citroen part number for this part: 5420184. You can find it easily putting this number on the web. The only advise: check first if your model needs them. 2CV6 for sure. Bye.

@citro-garage Thanks for replying.I have 2cv6 1986. I ve restoring it for 1 year now. i was having i bit of a problem with brakes...when car is parked if i push it with hands its hard to push and you can hear the brakes engaging..so i disassemble the brakes and iam waiting for new seals and pistons but i realise that i was missing these shims after i ve make the order. Shipping to reorder these shims isn't an option cause is too expensive. I can see some marks on the aluminium case indicating the form of the shims so i assume that they were in place long ago and someone missed them.if iam correct they are 2mm thick so i will put in place some washers 2mm or i will try to make some if i make a draw from the old marks

Is there a vacuum servo on this car ?

[@citro-garage]

No there isn't. The pedal is directly connected to pump, the car is very light, and braking is effortless.

[@alro2434]

Thanks! Had no idea they went to disks & CV joints! New pads are a bitch, but that oughta be very infrequent and the integral hand brake is very simple, so I would say it's a win! Seal got F'd by the person assembling it.

[@citro-garage]

Actually I had to replace the caliper seal because they were defective. I received the information from the supplier too late... :-)

Starts out too close, don't know where at in engine, car, front, back, left, right.

[@citro-garage]

That's because you probably don't know the 2 CV.That was the front right caliper. Front Calipers are mounted just beside the differential and gearbox. The gearbox is located close to the firewall and the engine is ahead of it.

@@citro-garage That's right, I don't. If you want the most people to get the most out of your video, you can have an attitude that has some consideration for Americans that have never seen what the 2cv looks like under the hood.

[@citro-garage]

Since it was only a short episode within the series that shows the whole car completely rebuilt and all its structure starting from the chassis until completion, I did not think that the single episode could be seen separately. For a better understanding of the car architecture, if you like, I recommend you to watch the other episodes For any other clarification, do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

@@citro-garage Well, that's the nature of KZbin -- people can 'parachute in' anywhere. The seasoned KZbinrs know this and make some introductions at the start of every video for the benefit of people just tuning in.

@@hg2. jeez, someone woke up cranky. Unsure why you'd be watching a very specific video about a specific car without the prior knowledge of that car, it's just fine how it's edited if you are actually approaching the job yourself.
