I was just browsing around and found these 'FAILS' which you may or may not have seen...

*Idea came from that FULLY HEKTIC TAURUS* which is quite clearly a FAIL...*







My personal favourite is the old skool yank tank with the MASSIVE tree that has grown thru the engine bay....

I agree this is just mesmerising!

Can somebody actually explain what is going here???? Surely the spanner is some sort of packer (although I just cannot see its purpose) as there is no way it is being used as a brake pad because it is resting on the dust sheild.

Might be because there is no rotor, and they needed something to pack the caliper so the pistons dont go out too far when the brake is applied.

I think it's there to replace the missing disk rotor to keep the caliper pistons popping out, and to keep the brake pedal going to the floor

No rotor - adjustable wrench to stop pads and pistons falling out so you keep brake pressure....on the other three wheels.......
