DaveAP Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I am putting the '87 brat front end together. It's been around 3 wks since it came apart, so I'm not real fresh memory wise. I installed the caliper and when I tested it to see that it would swing up to clear the rotor it hangs up on the disc plate. There are extrusions with oval holes, that's where it hangs. I put it up for the day, check it tomorrow. That happen to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 If the rotor is a used one, it'll have a ridge on the outer edge. Pads will hang on that area, and could cause a bind elsewhere. If the rotor is new, and you're getting a bind, I'm not sure without going out to the garage and looking at things. Just can't get a mental picture going at the moment.

DaveAP Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Tom,thannks for the reply. My post was confusing because I WAS confused. I thought the caliper assembly rotated off the top caliper mounting bolt.Duh. I came back to it this morning, reread the manuel, and realized my mistaken thinking. It rotates off the top guide pin. Back yard,semi literate,kuckle buster, will try anything, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
