Doing the 996 brake conversion on Monday

[T2Andy]

how does the washer affect the stresses applied to the bolt rather than the bracket?

fook knows but it works

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

I've added Plastilube & brake spanner to the shopping list!




I've got all the bits as sold in the kit sold here:

Is that the "spring thingy" you mentioned in the picture?


The brackets are aluminum ones bought from the forum so should be good.




You don't happen to know the part number for these do you?

Cheers

As it so happens yes.....996.351.959.01 £17.28 + Vat for a full set from the stealers.... Got the price today!!!!

But It Looks Like You Have Already Bought One....

This is my thread with pics from when I did the conversion

Help!

Help!

I've got the old calipers & discs off and have sat the new disc on the hub and it doesn't seem to locate properly. The taper on the brake disc doesn't match the hub so the fit isn't tight and the disc moves around a few mm.

Did anyone else notice this when doing their conversion?

Could the discs I've got be dodgy?

Or is it nothing to worry about?

[Rusty]

Have you left the spigot rings on from the wheels by any bad luck? Doesn't sound right, they should sit nice and flush. Centre bore of the disc should be 57.1mm or thereabouts, check there's no debris etc. stopping it sitting flush.

Good luck.

[PistonBroke]

I would have thought they should be a 'snug' fit on the hubs, mine were - where are your discs from.

[Colesy]

Discs are the wrong part number!!!

At least we know what the problem is now!

Does anyone have a pair knocking about in the Banbury area?

[Rusty]

Erm, MRC?

[Le S2 Audi]

Gsf??

[Colesy]

Latest problem is that the bolts that came with the brackets are the wrong thread!

I'll be contacting the seller but if in the meantime anyone has 4 bolts to go from the bracket to the hub area to sell that would be brilliant.

I did suggest that you check these!!!

As I had the same problem!!!

They are a special motorsport thread (so I was Told By A Bolt Specialist In Sheffield....)

Try Kev aka Bambridge I know he has some that he sells with his brackets... Dunno if he will sell you a set or not... but worth asking!!

Where did you get the brackets from? got any pics?

[Colesy]

Brackets were from s2martyn...

Don't have any pics but they look ok and seem to line up on the hub.

[QUOTE=Le S2 Audi;446909]Just one thing to check before you start is to make sure the Mounting bracket to Suspension arm bolts you have are the CORRECT Thread & Pitch.... This held me up doing my Upgrade....
