I am looking to find out the particiculars involved with switching to BMW brakes. I was told that the front calipers from a 3 series (year??) would go right on? Any idea what exactly I need to do this change up?

QUOTE no straight reply. Straight reply is "fix the real problem" not buy new brakes and new M/C's QUOTE bore is the same as "S" calipers Same as the M-Caliper, S-Caliper, A-Caliper and Carrera A-Caliper. A 19mm would, for sure, be in the picture. Those can be expensive. So, sometimes advice isn't black and white and discussion forums aren't as simple as striaght replies. Most of the Gents here seem to have: a ) Solved the problem (sounds like bad lines). b ) Saved Chogokin some loot in the process. Hey... did you buggers know that 911 front M-Calipers with their spacers taken out, also work on the front of an early teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

[/quote] yes... where do you think I used to get my long bolts and spacers for my old race car's rear vented brakes... 1 set i made before I figured out (wisened up) that i didn't have to hand fabricate those buggers. new car not legal though. |
