Rear Discs?
Re: Rear Discs?
Hello Dude!
yeah they should be close try turning them to insure they're not touchin anything
then test the calipers for proper fit.
goodluck

Re: Rear Discs?
Yep they are pretty close but spinning is done parallel to the backing plate so no grinding noises happen.

Re: Rear Discs?
Im just wondering if iv missed a part out or something. I know that the disc will sit fairly close to the plate, but right now its just sitting very close. Wont know for sure if it grinds until iv got wheel bolts on it, which i need to buy. Has anyone a library photo of the clearance beteen plate and disc.

That looks about normal as remember having to dig gravel our of the back plate after running of talent one day and thinking f**K how does it get in the there.
It will not rub with bolts, if you bolts are to long (and i have done this) they will catch the handbrake shoes before hitting the back plate

Re: Rear Discs?
Thanks, i just wanted a bit of reassurance. Next job is to modify aluminium bracket so the caliper fits in place.

Re: Rear Discs?
Not 100% sure, however i think i need some sort of proportioning valve, and a reisidual valve.
