i was about to fit the black brackets to the stub, when i went in search of the nuts for the allen key bolts....where are they???!! none in the kit at all! is this just a bad move from the person i bought the kit off, or do you not get the nuts with the kit?

scooby-k

Isn't the bracket threaded?
Ken

AlanG

i thought the brackets were threaded for the four bolts as well

drb5

iTrader: (4)

no lads. only two holes are threaded

Scoty

Should be 2 alan key bolts to hold the caliper onto the 2 threaded holes on the bracket, and 2 larger alan key bolts and nuts to hold the bracket onto the hub.

drb5

iTrader: (4)

yes, but the hub aint threaded and the thicker shorter bolts can only go into the hub and not the threaded part of the black bracket/spacer

Scoty

What thicker bolts, the original ones?

There should be 2 alan key bolts with nuts that will be long enough to hold the bracket onto the hub, the hub doesnt need to be threaded, only when u fit a godspeed kit should you need to do this.

Scoty

The thicker shorter bolts your talking about, did they come with the kit?

drb5

iTrader: (4)

yup. thats exactly where i'm coming from bud, but there aint no nuts for the bolts to tighten onto.

Scoty

gonna buy some tomorrow. i couldn't remember if there was nuts in your kit or not bud

AlanG

scotys right.

just checked mine and they have nuts.

my old 4 pot ap's didn't though. the bracket was threaded

drb5

all sorted for tomorrow hopefully then

Scoty

kewl, mind an messure the distance between the inside of caliper to face of disc on each side of the disc and adjust if nessesary (cheers Alan )

AlanG

yep as scoty says just make sure the disc is central to the caliper both top and bottom.

think i gave you two nuts to use as a spacer when you put the wheel bolts on to hold the disc in place?

drb5

iTrader: (4)

yup, yup, yup

started to do that until i found a problem, lol.

how far out could it be, maximum?

Scoty

Aye cheers Alan, they worked great

cosmic

scoty drb5 think thats the problem im having fitting these brembos when i put the wheel on the disc hits of the back of the caliper as if it needs spacers or washers to central the caliper on the disc any ideas thanks

drb5

iTrader: (4)

you got the brackets on the right way round bud? the shims we used let the caliper come forward the more you put in.

cosmic

dave i need to move the caliper in to allow the disc to seat properly only way i can get it is to fit 3 washers whitch is about 9 mil these came off a 22b first upgrade the guy done then he put ap 6 pots on he got all his work done at kenny browns kenny had them all marked n/s o/s just wondering if its safe like this

sounds a bit dodgy to me bud, sorry. best to maybe speak to someone at brembo or even a dealer. i had to phone someone at ap racing and they ended up sending me out a bunch of special nuts and instructions(as they weren't in the kit) for no lira what-so-ever

top blokes them at ap
