Iggy, You shouldn't have this problem and I don't recommend that you fit spacers i.e. work out what's wrong with it as i'm not confident that spacers would fix the real problem safely.
If your bracket is absolutely flush with the flange then the bracket is unlikely to be the problem or at least it doesn't strike me as such. Some of my questions may seem a bit basic but I think we have to cover everything from go to whoa to work out what's wrong. I'll pull a wheel off mine tomorrow (later today actually) so I can recall what is flush with what with everything together eg the rotor and hub (where the wheel bolts up too) are almost flush from memory. Yes, your bracket is the correct way round as you have to grind out the curved bit to fit over the 1600 "A" arm i.e. curved bit is towards the diff and you don't fit the Skyline backing plate, I can't remember exactly why, but you don't. Did you ream out the centre hole in the bracket (2 or 3 mm from memory) so it fits over the lip? When you try to fit the calliper how much off centre are we talking here? Did you have pads in when you tried to fit it up? If the outer edge of the disc is hitting the calliper - my first thoughts are that the axle is not located all the way in. Did you actually remove the axle or do the brackets the Craig (Maddat) way i.e. cut the crap out of them so they fit over the axle with it still installed? If the axle was removed: Have you done the 1/2 shaft flange up on the axle with the 175# torque nuts? What axles and brakes etc did you start with - stock 1600? Was it modified previously? Did you remember to re-fit the spacer between the bearings on the axle? Lotsa questions I know but without seeing it she could be a tricky one to suss out. I hope all this makes sense, I need sleep. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sandejas, Ignacio Sent: Monday, 6 May 2002 11:44 AM To: Ozdat (E-mail) Subject: R31 rears. Guys, I'm in the middle of doing my rear disc conversion. I am using the R31 discs and calipers. I have modified the mounting bracket and it sits ok on the suspension arm. Problem is when it is all bolted up, the other edge of the disc contacts the caliper. Now it might sound like the bracket is not flush with the flange, but I have checked and it is. I can put spacers behind the caliper mounting bolts to get it to fit but would rather not. Did anyone else have this problem? The bracket is supposed to be fitted with the, bugger how do I explain this...., the curved bit towards the diff? I have forgotten which way they came off the R31. Any suggestions?
