What size mounting bolts are the calipers using: 8mm or 10mm? If they’re 8mm that’d be cutting it close as you want at least a 1:1 thread engagement ratio. In other words, you would want 8mm thread engagement for a 8mm bolt, 10 for 10, etc. For critical parts, I prefer 1.5:1 so 12 for 8....
Later, Doug
They are 10mm.
Hmm, interesting point. I suppose I could shave off 1.5mm on the caliper and 1.5mm on the fork mount to keep the caliper at 1:1 for thread engagement, but now its twice the machining cost to set up the pieces.
I guess I will have to speak to my machinist and run it by him as well and get a quote.
