It does not have the tension rod. The caliper is on the bottom of the rotor. It's looks like the same bolt set up as Scott but the caliper is flipped.

So, 10mm bolt through swingarm and bracket. Are there washers between the SA and bracket or nut and bracket?

OK, so the non-floater setup.
Oddly enough, I've just done one.

10mm bolt and nut isn't a good solution.
For a dodgy emergency repair, perhaps....

What you need is one of these, part# 037740070:



And a 10mm socket head bolt, 30mm long IIRC.

Very likely Advanced Motorsports has one of those pins.

Maybe I'm misreading this, but if it's a "floating" rear mount then it doesn't bolt to the swingarm like the fixed ones (pictured above) do.  It floats to make the rear brake independent from the suspension/braking actions.  (edit) just re-read and see it's for a fixed that is below the swingarm. Yes, they did both above and below fixed, the only difference is the brake line and the mount (dont' remember if you can flip it?)

Hope this helps

It's definitely the fixed which goes on the bottom of the rotor. I went through my box-o-shit and found the nut that Speeddog posted. Luckily enough I was smart enough to thread the 10mm bolt into it when I put it away.

Score one for being somewhat organized! ;)

The bottom-mount caliper bracket uses the small axle.
Some are the floating style, which use a hose mount bracket attached by the 10mm bolt.
The fixed style either use a welded pin on the steel swingarms, or the pin I pictured above with the aluminum swingarms.
I've run across some bike with an aluminum swingarm and the pin, it's annoying when removing the rear wheel, as the caliper bracket won't pivot on the pin.

There are small axle and large axle top-mount fixed caliper brackets.
Small axle are early Monster and 851, possibly 888.
Large axle are '01 S4 and all '02 and later DSS Monster, others like ST and who knows what else....
