Pics of RC51 caliper grinding

Didn't someone post pics of RC calipers after they've been ground to fit? I'm getting ready to do this, and while it looks pretty straightforward, it can only help to see the pics, eh? It looks like about 3/16" of material will need to be removed.

No luck on Search.

Thanks, but I found those two. Not them. Close, but no cigar!

Re: Pics of RC51 caliper grinding

I thought I posted pics showing where I took material away on the RC calipers I mounted up, but can't find the thread (if I even posted, I guess too many drinks have killed my brains cells over the holidays!!!).... I have pics at work that show exactley what I did... I'll post them up tommorrow for you.

BTW... your right, you only need to take away a small amount of the material to clean the caliper mount, you can probaby dremmel it away if you don't have access to a milling machine or drill press.

Found the thread....

https://www.superhawkforum.com/viewt...581&highlight=

If that link doesn't work, search the forums for a thread titled "Brake System Overhaul" in the Mods and Performance category.
