hi fullas

 

I'm running 4 spot brembos and want to up grade to 6 spot on my bf 

 

I see on line plenty of fg conversions, does the bf need different mounting brackets to fg as the caliper on bf is front mounted and fg is rear mount?

Is there traps for young players to watch for?

 

any help or advice will be much appreciated

You can install FG Brembo's with FG Brackets  on a B series but you'll need to swap the bleed screws and cross over pipes as the caliper sit on the opposite side of the disc on a FG so if installed directly onto a B series the cross over pipe is on top and bleed screw is on the bottom.

Hi Luke, 

I'll be installing my Brembo's soon. Could you please tell me which way the small piston is supposed to face. Is it the lead piston  for forward travel? Or do it have it arse about face?

Yesir.

Small piston on the rotor entry and big on the exit.

 

Ensure the pads lead into the roto from the entry side. More progressive action and less chance of chatter.

 

Keen for pics of 385's and associated bits. (make two set of spacers kthnxby)
