Obviously for those with big-brakes only, the Mercedes 23mm cylinder butts up the the stock crossmember.
It was slightly long, but all I had to do was grind off a bit from the end of the MC and add a thin, stiff plastic sheath around the cross-member and it was done. This is better, no movement at all. I've never looked at it's flex directly but it's GOT to be moving a little. Time for an inspection. I'll climb under the car sooner than expected and check for wear. |
