Jackal Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Hi Everyone. I was not sure if I should just post this in my build thread or in Gen Tech. Sorry about the following Noob question. I am looking for pictures on how to mount the rear calipers to my Birkin LA. The clearance doesn't seem to allow for a nut on the disk side, but I don't think I've ever seen brakes mount without a recieving nut on the end of a bolt. Do I use a lot of thread lock and wrench it within an inch of its life? I'm guessing the caliper bolts are around 45mm in length. Does that sound about right?
BCBirk Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 You should be fine with just a ring split washer on the bolt. I don't remember the torque spec though.
pi7ot Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 The Honda calipers use a bolt. No capture nut. Use blue locking compound and torque to spec. They use two 7 or 8 mm(key) Allen bolts. the bolts are orientated with the heads on the inside center line, going through the bracket first and then fixing the caliper. The caliper mounts on the road wheel side of each bracket. On my 2001 chassis. m
