Front Brake Caliper Carrier

[MacRS200]

Just fitted new Mintex discs and pads on the front of the Tezza.

The "frame" that holds the caliper has 2 bolts that were a pig to "break", the ends of the bolts were a bit rusty, as you would expect. Like the title says anyone know what they should be torqued back up to?

TIA

Tony, Did you work that from the thread size? Just wondering if it's the same for the 250 'cos I'll need to know by the week-end

The information is from my Autodata cd... the 250 is not included yet (sorry).... Although dare i say it! i think it will be the same.

Thank you Dr Bones, I will now be giving them a check up ASAP. 115nm with a 300mm bar is a lot of sweat :D

From a Woman I would take that as a compliment

Thinking about it, and getting the calculator out, maybe I over did it a shade :D

Probably best! In a perfect world the bolts are meant to be replaced with new ones! I think most would agree educated cutting of corners is realistic.
