madwoody1 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 well finally got round to having the uk brakes fitted to my jap spec 93 tt,thought it was going to be an average job to do, How wrong was i the first thing i had was the wheels on my hubs, they would of hit the calipers on the front if i hadn't of had spacers on thats not a problem there only 5mm ones, but the problem was when it comes to fitting the spacer and wheels there was only four turns on the nuts so that would be 5mm of thread, should be at least 75% of the bolt 12mm so therefore it would be 8mm give a little. So the studs on the hubs i had off the car i was stripping are 5mm longer so after getting them fitted to my car and putting the calipers on checking for leaks bleeding and everything else i then am just about to start to take the car off the ramps i look at the steering wheel and it didn't look right wasn't straight so realined the steering wheel got out the car to check the toe and guess what the car is now toeing out about 25 degrees. As i haven't got a machine to do the tracking i had to roughly set it up but it is toeing in a little now will have another go on friday when i fit a new rear off side top wishbone what a bloody night there i was thinking calipers,discs,pads done in 1 hour tops and 3 hours later its done with me and my mate john well johndoing most of the work (good lad) on a plus i now have uk 4 pots on the front and 2 pots on the rear[GRIN][/GRIN] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
