I am putting the '87 brat front end together. It's been around 3 wks since it came apart, so I'm not real fresh memory wise.

I installed the caliper and when I tested it to see that it would swing up to clear the rotor it hangs up on the disc plate. There are extrusions with oval holes, that's where it hangs.

I put it up for the day, check it tomorrow.

That happen to anyone else?

If the rotor is a used one, it'll have a ridge on the outer edge. Pads will hang on that area, and could cause a bind elsewhere.

 

If the rotor is new, and you're getting a bind, I'm not sure without going out to the garage and looking at things. Just can't get a mental picture going at the moment.

Tom,thannks for the reply.

My post was confusing because I WAS confused. I thought the caliper assembly rotated off the top caliper mounting bolt.Duh.

I came back to it this morning, reread the manuel, and realized my mistaken thinking. It rotates off the top guide pin.

Back yard,semi literate,kuckle buster, will try anything, Dave.
