Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Hey Capt.Got my brackets in...Great product!!! One question, the "c'' bracket does not bolt flush to my flange on the rear end because theres a lip.See pics. Do I grind on the c bracket "hate to mess up powder coat" or do I put washers and shim it out?
Thanks,

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

The base bracket is supposed to fit over the lip on the backing plate flange. Do not shim it out with washers....your caliper won't line up with the rotor. No one has mentioned this issue before. It looks like I may need to increase the diameter of the inside of the base bracket to allow more clearance for the powder coating. At this point, I would suggest reducing the diameter of the lip on the backing plate flange. This should be easiest done with a flat file, removing a little at a time until the base bracket fits. Then you can touch up the paint on the flange. The other option would be for me to send you another set of base brackets that have a larger inside diameter. Let me know, if you would rather go that route.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

It's just the thickness of the powder coat that is making them too small. I thought I had allowed enough for that but apparently not. Looks like I need to make the ID on those another .010-.015 bigger.
