340 Brake Restoration and Other Bits

The photos speak for them selves.
I believe the rear rotors to be unserviceable, but I can't find any minimum specs for them _ not even the Jag mechanic could find them in his shop manual _ strange.
This is what happens to the engine bay when brake fluid is allowed to seep for 11 years. It penetrated half way down the under carriage as well _ what a mess _ lots of scraping, cleaning and painting to do.
I plan to use silicon brake fluid this time...
When I did the engine years ago I did a half-assed job on the engine bay, so I think I will take this opportunity to do it wright. It will be a bit if a pain with the engine in there, but I've done it before with my Mark 6 Bentley.

Rad will be cleaned and repainted as well, you can also see the exhaust down pipes on the floor. I had to drop the gas tank too _ it needed an overhaul _ all full of rust.
