Brake fitment
goaty - 27/10/08 at 06:06 PM

Hi,
Been playing with my new wilwood midilite M16 calipers but it seems the caliper is spaced a bit far out. The pad hangs off the edge by 1mm or so and needs to go closer in.
I am not sure if i have fit the brackets right so if anyone can look at the pics and tell me where i have gone wrong.
I am running Capri 240mm vented discs.





many thanks
joe

see the bracket that the caliper bolts to? can that be trimmed down by a mm or two?

My Raceleda R16 calipers are the same. I was told that it's nothing to worry about. Rescued attachment Raceleda brakes.JPG

i dont really want to start grinding the bracket down unlessi really have to. There are a couple of little spacers in between i may look at but if more people can confirm theres nothing to worry about then i shall leave it.

Stuart, how long have yours been running like that?? run into any issues yet??
cheers again

I've been using them for a couple of months now. I did send pics to MNR and they said it is how they are and nothing to worry about, other people have also told me there's are like it too.
