Re: The Rookie Bug Progress
Hi Guys
So today was a busy day .Installed my adjustable beam
Front disc brakes.
My worst fear came true , wheels touched the brake caliper. Quick run down to the local spare shop and got some universal 5mm spacers and it cleared

Re: The Rookie Bug Progress
Yes i did , wheels did knock up on the caliper but a 5mm universal spacer did the trick.
Thanks to Tony qho help me with a flat face brake drum and impressed me with his machine work on drilling and tapping it to 4x100 pcd
