Fitting caliper day today didn't go without problems.

The bracket supplied with the caliper was all fine and dandy, but it left the caliper 7mm too close to the center as I'm using 245mm disks. Next door to my dads garage is a machine shop, so we've got 4 spacers being made to take up the slack.

If you use the standard sprint disks they fit, but this is the minimum allowed disk diameter for the calipers, so we went with the +2 size @ 245mm

The hole for the brake pipe in the caliper is some freakish size and depth. The suppliers did provide an adapter, but it was pants. On the other side to the machine shop is a hydraulic specialist who is making the required braided hoses for 9am tomorrow.

All being well I'll be up and stopping tomorrow.

I'll write up all the parts and stuff when its working plus photos if anyone is interested.

Andy.
