Big Brake Kit.

[turboking]

Just installed my new big brake kit(2 piece rotors and 4 piston calipers. All bought from e-bay, and a ton of machining at the shop) on my shelby lancer. while i was bleeding the brakes, my master took a dump. On the master it is written 7/8 (shelby lancer). What application and what size master am i looking for?

That 7/8 marking indicates a 21mm master, now is the perfect time for an upgrade to the 24mm unit. At the parts store spec out a 90-93 LeBarron with four wheel disc brakes. Anything might come in the box though so make sure it has a 4 where you old one says 7/8. The ones that say 1 there are same as you 7/8 so watch out for those.

I am hoping your luck is different Carl, but I had nothing but clunking noise and chatter with my two piece rotors:( Then the 'buttons' that held the hat to the rotors began to loosen up:mad: Now that was an ugly noise!

"Wow" After reading that i am going to put locking washers and nuts on the bolts( i was just going to screw the rotors to the hat)

Safety wire the bolts no excuse not too

From what I understand the rotor and the hat will expand at different rates which is why there is a need for a 'button' type system. Mounted with screws or bolts and no play for thermal expansion might be a bad deal when the rotor gets hot... All the modern sportbikes have to piece rotors and some sort of system that allows for play between the two pieces.

what kind of rotors and calipers were in this kit? what size rotors? did it have adapters?
