>>>"After more staring at the brake calipers, I removed the U-pins and bent them as Tom Townsend had shown me some two years ago (unless I looked at his diagram wrong, which is possible). I bent the pins so that the uprights (if viewed as a letter "U") now have an angle of about 10 degrees bend towards you in them and that the shorter end (top side, without the hole in it for the cotter/retaining pin) is bent away, towards the rear of the car (when viewed in its installed position). I hope that makes sense"<<<
NO NO NO .... :-)
Out side of the "U" to the FRONT of the car!
On several occasions ....I have also had to add a washer to the 2 bolts that hold the caliper to the spindle, because the end of the mounting bolts would rub aginst the new rotor. Either the rotor was a little larger or the bolts were streched.
The brands indicated for your parts are what I use.
