Hello World,
I am reworking my front 5 lug struts,shocks and calipers. I was able to pick-up a set of Wilwood Superlite 3.5" spacing front calipers with 3 sets of additional brake pads. Upon doing a dry run on fit, I needed to trim my brake dust covers slightly but I noticed that the caliper did not line up in the center of the rotor. Rotors are new Sebro 405 43001 098. Is it possible to use washers to adjust the caliper position to center. I would obviously purchase longer bolts to make sure that the same amount of thread is holding in the strut. The adjustment distance would be approximately 5mm. Thanks, Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

I will now agree with Mike, started as a small idea, thanks to Scott, grew with the beginning of the thread, and now has been driven deep into center field by John's impressive installation.
Sometimes I wonder why I get onto this forum, time to earmark funds in the budget! |

I made the caliper adapters by old school measuring twice, cutting once & drilling with my lame old bench top drill press. Should really do a slicker job some day.
The rotor "hats" that mount the rotors to the hubs came from Rebel Racing & hardened bolts & stamped lock nuts from McmasterCarr. Bought a box of 100 each since they are single use in my book. |
