Title: Brembo Caliper Bolts
Post by: b. on March 18, 2009, 06:50:11 AM
Story:  Bought used calipers.  Installed them at a friend's house.  Rode home.

Incident:  Heard clanking noise on the freeway on two separate occasions--assumed it was a rock hitting the manifold.

Reality:  See picture below...

Mother effer!!!  Note to self:  check ALL bolts when buying used parts.   [bang]

Anyone know where I can buy these bolts?  Torque spec?  Loc-tite or anti-seize?

TIA.

How do the threads on the caliper look?

I probably have them in a box somewhere.  Pull one out of the other caliper, measure, and replace.  Same with the other one (just to verify they are the same length/size).  Let me know what you find and I'll mail you a pair  [thumbsup]

Are yours allen or torx?

"I think" the older calipers have the allens, and the newer have the torx.

Allen's more than likely, although I do have some torx stuff.  One of the projects I have to do is somehow arrange and sort all the misc hardware I've got.

Might have them in Ti as well, allen in that app.  [thumbsup]

Sweet.  Thanks, Theo!  I will measure when I get home.
