Workshop Day - Late notice 10/4/11 - R31 Rear brake conversion.

[Scoota G]

Hi folks, I'm just in the middle of putting the R31 rear brakes on my 240.
It seems to be taking a massive amount of stuffing around!

Scoota, did you mount the calipers up top (12 o'clock position)?
How much clearance did you get between the handbrake cable and the axle flange?

I found that shortening the handbrake bracket by 12mm seems to give the right length of travel for the 240 cable.


Thanks,
G

You'll need too mount the calipers facing toward the front of the car, at 12 o'clock they will foul on the strut.

Also you will need to suspend the hand brake cable by a spring or cable tie, it's close but it still goes.

I really need to do a write up on this, does the oracle have the photos?

[Lurch]

Yes.

[Scoota G]

Yes.

Cool, do you want to send them to me and i'll do the write up or how would you like to do it?

[Lurch]

PM me your email addy & I shall send them over.
