I been reading a lot of threads on the usage of M calipers on the rear for 5 lug conversion, found the mention of using 5mm washer / spacer between the caliper and mounting bosses to space for the early 911 vented ( 20 mm thick ) rotor, but no real mention of this being the total thickness needed or if it is 5mm PLUS the splash shield mounting bracket , which would add it's thickness to the overall dimension.
If someone with more knowledge of this setup would enlighten me , I would appreciate it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks... Jaxdream |

I used a piece of flat bar and drilled two holes 3 inches apart, instead of washers.

QUOTE(paroxysm @ Aug 19 2009, 07:15 PM)  I used a piece of flat bar and drilled two holes 3 inches apart, instead of washers. Iwas planning on using a piece of flat stock also , just wanted to find out the desired thickness to center the caliper over the rotor and thread the sides that can extend slightly past the bolts to attach the splash shield. What thickness bar did you use??? If you don't mind adding it to the thread. Jaxdream |
