That holds the caliper to the spindle? Costas cars and such... Yep! I was doing a complete new brake rotor/new DTC 70 pads break-in at my local track as I have done many times before. I go by the book, a few minutes of gentle warm up stops followed by a some maximum effort (almost)stops. When I nailed it the last time before pulling into the hot pits to let it all cool down, I heard and felt a bumping noise from the front right. I stayed off the brakes, and was approaching the wall to park when the front wheel simple locked up and I came screeching to a halt. The whole shebang was bound up inside the wheel, with the caliper shaving the inside of the wheel and the bracket had dropped various pieces and one had jammed in a spoke of my C5 18" wagon wheel. I had to jack it up, remove the wheel, use a hammer to remove the shrapnel, and then install an AN3 cap on the brake line fitting to allow the car to be driven back to the paddock! These brackets have been in steady use since 2001 and maybe they actually have a life limit! Who knew cast iron was so easy to break? |
