Rear calipers rotation
the_big_1 - 2/7/17 at 03:43 PM

Hi guys,

Had this on the Haynes specific part but no replies.
About to fully weld my rear hubs up with the roatation of the calipers.
The book said horizontal but supplier of hub said horizontal causes issues with handbrake cable.
So I have put them at about 45 degrees. Can not see any issues but would be very greatfull to your inputs before I commit and fully weld.
Many thanks all

Great stuff.
Just asking for opinions as once I full weld, would be scrap parts if they are wrong lol

What size wheels are you planning on having. Sierra rear brakes struggle to get 13's over


the_big_1 - 2/7/17 at 05:05 PM

Hi ya,

Not that that far a head but was thinking 15?

Looks ok to me

Thanks guys, really appreciate it, looks like goer then.
15 wheels seems to be the standard on roadsters too.

Did you rotate your the same as what I am planning?

I did have to move them because of handbrake but I can't remember what position they ended up and I am not near the car so I can't have a look I do remember that the bleed nipples ended up at the bottom so proved a bit tricky to bleed them

Slight hijack of the thread but does anyone have the part number for the pads for these Sierra calipers please?

Cheers
