So I finally got all my brake stuff together, SS lines on, new hard lines going on, calipers painted and reloaded.
Well, the damn rotor seems to be sitting to far away from the caliper mounter ears. It appears to be an 1/8th of an inch or so off. I went and measured the old rotor and new rotor using the distance from the flat area where the wheel touches to the edge of the rotor itself. See diagram. WTF is going on? These have been drilled for 5 lug, so that complicates the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Attached image(s) |

yep, what the other guy said (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'm sure this upset you, but you should have seen Brads and my face last week when he test fit one of the new billet hubs on an early strut...it didn't work since I designed the hubs for the later style strut......an "oh $hit" was muttered and then about 2 seconds later I remembered what model strut i used...so needless to say, if you want to use the new billet hubs, the newer (with better balljoint mounting) strut will have to be used.......... |
