Yes, the 911 needs more parts. Brake parts this time. Brake parts fuel the brake saga and what's a car without a saga? Last Saturday was spent trying to get the proper brake pedal feel. I bled and bled the brakes. I can bleed brakes in my sleep; right rear, left rear, right front, left front over and over again.
After the pedal was firm enough, it had too much travel. Jack the car up again, take the wheels off. There's a good one MM between the pad and the rotor. In brake land, that's too much. A couple of failed attempts at erasing that one millimeter, I realize there is a ridge about one MM tall running around the circumfrence of the rotor. This ridge is where the brake pad does not touch the disc. One millimeter of steel is ground away from the rotor. It is impossible to get the pads any closer with the rotor ridge. I measure the rotor thickness and they're right one the edge of needing replacement.
Cross-drilled front rotors $111 each.
Ferodo front brake pad set $140.
The brake saga continues.
