Dat260Z Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I bought this rear brake setup from a guy on here, and this was what the kit came with, rotors/hats, caliper brackets, calipers, pads.. and no mounting directions..but the install looks pretty straightforward. My question is what should I use to mount the calipers to the brackets? There are no mounting bolts(that I know of) Any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat260Z Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Should I just go to the hardware store and get some grade 8 bolts with lock nuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yep. I want to say it's a 7/16" bolt size, but don't quote me on that. I take it you have Honda offset wheels. If not, you'll need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat260Z Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have 16x8 0 offset Rotas . They clear my z32 calipers up front Got it all mocked up, found some longer bolts for the bracket-hub, now off to find some bolts for bracket-caliper. And to dig up one of my missing stainless brake lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat260Z Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Norman V- I am running the Techno Toy Tuning coilover setup. But the guy I bought it all from did not section the strut housings for the short stroke strut inserts. So that is next on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat260Z Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Jmortensen- what MC/booster/proportion valve did you run with your brake setup? I've got a 1" and an adjustable proportion valve on the way. Not sure if I should upgrade the booster as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I went manual with dual masters which kinda throws it all off, and I returned that setup to Juan because it didn't clear my wheels. He made new caliper brackets and hats and returned them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat260Z Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I ended up having to get a pair of spacers for the rear, wheel was hitting the caliper by about 2mm. Threw some 1/4" spacers on there until I can find some brake lines . I didn't realize that the calipers won't accept standard seated brake lines.
