Thread: Front Caliper hitting front springs

Tweet

I guess I could have done that, I just put them on the correct way.

Ok ,since I cant identify where the calipers came from and I aint's buying new ones from speedway!!!. And no one can tell me what would cross over and work,I decided to modify the calipers to fit my situation. I machined off the back of the caliper that was hitting ( protruding boss on back of caliper )and moved the banjo fitting to the bottom of the caliper so as to give the needed clearance. Now the rack and pinion hit full stop before anything touches.
I will post pictues if i can figure out this system of uploading pictures to the web site, I cant find any info or instructions here ( it cant be that hard) but I cant get picture to show up in my gallery.
