The Rolls Royce will be shown in a concours soon and needed to be cleaned up a bit.

Sometimes you will see filters in the cap for brake fluid reservoirs but the Rolls not only has a screen but also three filters inside of the reservoir.

The Rolls Royce Silver Shadow uses dual two piston calipers on the front rotors that are driven off two hydraulic pumps on the engine. That means there is eight brake pads to replace in the front. When replacing them it is a good idea to also replace the pins, clips and springs.

The brake reservoir was just full of crud and the sight glasses had not been usable since I have owned the car. Time to clean it out and put new gaskets in the sights. Inside the reservoir for this car there is three filters and two floats.

Here is the brake distribution valves for the low and high pressure lines of the Rolls Royce’s brake system.

A full set of Kumho Solus 235/70R15 tires are ready to go.

A right hand drive model that was sold in London, has the optional 24 Karat gold plated hood emblem.
