If you got Wizards UAS kit. At least you got THE BEST conversion kit around. The UAS kit fits better and tighter than any of the others leaving minimum pad overhang off the rotors. I have fitted 3 different kits and this is by far the best.
Instead of a thread coil may I suggest that you get then to put a thread insert in. Especially noting it is alloy, as it is easy to damage the thread (PIC). It is a far better result, and would actually be a better solution that originally supplied. The alloy bone bolts need to be monitored, and retighten as they "mate" with the attaching surface, they can work loose. Check up on Blipman's problem with his skyline, I say it is poor instruction by the manufacture that results in this.
yeah i know. Ive been studying for exams day n night just needed a break for a few hours in the middle of the day, and figured you were unlikely to be free. I sourced some high tensile M12 nuts and bolts and have it bolted up. fits nice and snug doesnt move at all. Havent had a chance to bleed it yet but i got a bleeder kit. I think ill loctite the bolts as well and when i have a bit more time go get this thread Redone. Ironically my exam is on engineering design, one topic being bolts and bolted joint design. So i should have known better before the first foolish mistake. Remind me not to engineer anything for our cars
Wow talk about gritting your teeth and having a go, although with people like Ron willing to help though just ask and save yourself some grief..
It was a used Kit Dave, You dont get instructions then. Just offers to help from the guy you bought it off.
Is that aimed At me? Just for the record it dosen't and never did come with any documentation. Rotors, calipers,pads, braided lines, just parts that have to be assembled. It's not rocket science, pretty basic mechanical assembly. Kit was sold in good condition and the offer was made that i would come and fit them when the new owner was ready to install them, all i needed was a phone call.
Yes that kit does not come with any instructions. It's pretty hard to get it wrong, this is a case where if you don't know don't use brute force with the attitude 'she'll be right'.
... Im retarded. Can we stop posting in this thread to remind me every time i log on? Good news is i aced my exam this morning. Long as it all worked out im happy. Next time ill take up an offer of help from someone who knows what theyre doing.
You win some you lose some mate, how many people do you know can say they did an engine transplant on the street in front of your house? not many I'd say. But yeah if there's help available take it lol
