Hi all,
I’ve been trying to fit a pair off BCC Pembury upgraded 4-pot aluminium callipers (> Austin Healey 3000 (Mk1 BN7 & BT7) Front Brake Caliper Upgrade Kit <) to my 1961 BT7 and I am experiencing some fitting issues.
Having removed the original Girling 14 callipers, which were perfectly centered on the disc (photo 1), the new callipers are offset to the right by 5-6mm and require 2.8mm of shims (2x0.9, plus 2x0.5mm) to bring the callipers close to being centered (photos 2 &3).
I am slightly concerned about needing 2.8mm of shims to center the discs. Is this acceptable?
Phil
