My 521 project- new to Ratsun


Motopilot

Recommended Posts

Working on the disc brakes today.

 

Got the brackets from Beebani.

 

Centric d21 4wd calipers and brake hose

2002 isuzu rodeo sport rotors

75 280zx mc

 

Fitted the brackets up. Holes for mounting are larger. I talked to beebani and that is to allow for casting differences which I understand.

 

I made done shims from a piece I picked up at Lowe's

:rolleyes: ...casting differences...  Fortunately brake/hub/spindle components are machined and drilled after casting.

That is the shim on the bolt.

 

 

My issue is now the calipers with pads installed have a gap of 24mm. The rotors are 26mm.

 

I looked up the specs and the rotors on the isuzu and the d21 are 26mm.

 

So it looks like the centric calipers/pads are the issue.

 

Going to a parts store today to check the brake pads they have against mine.

 

 

Update....f ing knob I was. I thought the brand new calipers were opened right up. I got them on now.
