Hey all. I got most of the front suspension back on but when I went to put the brake calipers on I noticed that they would not fit over the rotor AND lined up with caliper mounts. SO I removed my new rotors and compared them to the old and found that the rear offset from the rotor surface to the bearing seal surface is deepr on the original rotors.
I had to find this out after I already pressed in the ew bearing races (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) So how can this be? I have the old style strut tubes. When I talked with eric shea about getting my calipers we stated that I have "new" style calipers So what did the factory do? Old strut tubes and new style brakes on a 72? I guess I gotta order new rotor and pull out the races qand return the rotors. Man I hate set backs |

George... read through this. See the picture in post #21? It shows the split strut with the later caliper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
