Front Brake Disc and Calipers

Moving on from fitting the clutch cable, I turned to getting the front brake discs and calipers assembled and fitted onto the hubs.

These are reconditioned calipers from GBS fitted to new grooved vented discs.

Fitment seems straightforward... disc goes over the hub bolts and this in turn is held in position with a couple of wheel nuts. (the countersunk hole in the disc is a puzzlement, not sure if I should be doing anything with that, although there is no hole in the hub for this to align against in turn take a bolt/nut..?)

The caliper bolts to the hub with 2 x M35 bolts - I noted some builds have found the bolts bind on the disc when tightened up and may need a washer to pack out -I did not seem to have this issue, so left with no washers

Finally I connected the braided brake hose to the caliper.

above repeated for both sides - All that remains is for the brake pads to be fitted, brake fluid filled and the brakes bled - subject to any leaks in the union joints on the cooper brake circuit we should be "good to go" on the braking.
