ok guys. For those who didnt see my last thread Ive just had a mighty job cutting my brake disk in two all in the name of removing a rounded Caliper Carrier bolt..............after following a nob cheese idea from a mate of mine (my own fault for doing it.....I know!!)
Anyway. All seemed to be good and I fitted the other sides new disks and cleaned up calipers etc back first.
Then to the other side...and I fit the disk...and the caliper carrier seems to be mighty close to catching it on thej outer edge (maybe .5mm gap!)
Ive measured the distance form these to the disk on both sides and this side is at least 1 -1.5mm further away from disk than the "good" side mounting is which ties in with almost catching the disk
Could there be anything else bent that could cause this mare?!!
I did notice that one of the caliper slide bolts was bent right over the rubber spring bit totally trapping it....like it had had a knock at some point but??
Thoughts....and suggestions would be helpful before I do this tonight though I really dont want to have to buy a new strut/hub mount thing and fit it if I can avoid it
TIA
edit///and yes...the disk was pointed and bolted fully and correct and the hub and bearing is spot on! and the caliper carrier is straight and true also as I fitted it to the otehr side to check. I also fitted a known good disk and it was the same so the disks are fine
