Hi guys, desperatly need some advice as im mid through (fooking!) my big brake upgrade..

 

I got the old disc and the caliper off without too much hasstle and thought all was going well. Came to fit the bracket for the caliper and realised i didnt have a 10mm allenkey for the those bolts. Thankfully a neighbour had one so got on with fitting the bracket. Thing was no matter how tight i tried to get those bolts the bracket was never really firm against the car and you can twist it!

 

Its as if it needs an extra washer, but clearly that will adjust the spacing of the caliper. Im worried now i might have stripped the threads out of the zed in either getting the caliper off or in putting the bracket on!

 

Not sure what to do next really and the cars now looking sorry for itself a fair bit! Their is resistance and their looks to be thread there but you can twist the bracket/caliper about 4mm ! :headvswal

 

HELP!

Have to admit I was a little confused by how to fit the caliper bracket too when I got it.

Could Smithy include some instructions or a diagram with future orders?

 

Might prevent someone else getting in to trouble next time.

 

Usually when i remember, which is most of the time :) I supply the link that Pete put up from Robo's website, though that is for fitting 350Z discs, the only difference is the thickness of the brackets. I did actually ask someone a short while ago to do a write up based on my kit, just waiting for him to do it and then it can be added to my "instruction" section, then we're good to go :bow:

thanks fellas :)

smithy

Just read through this and thought it deserved a bump!!

This is what a CAR FORUM is all about!! :bow: :bow: ;)

Amen to that brother :D

Once again thanks smithy, hope someone else does read this thread, the guide is pretty clear but i just missed the way that bolt went round! Damn it, definatly a learning point for me, so hope others wont make the same mistake.

 

Smithy if i ever make it to the isle i definatly owe you a few beers!!!!
