Brake carrier

[ChrisGadd]

Next dilemma is .... I've had These


Chimera front brakes refurbished by BIGG Red and they have been sat in their box until now. I've got 260mm discs and loosly put them on the hubs and realised that they don't fit. The carriers look to be too far away from the disc any idea where I have gone wrong please?

So do I have the wrong discs? I'd have thought if anything it might be the offset that is wrong if it is the discs and not the carriers?

So it could simply be the wrong model of disc.

Looks like you're right thanks

There are two types of 260mm disc setup. The early mk1 Sierra setup used on the XR4i 3dr, and then the later ABS-spec mk2 Sierra setup which was more commonly used on most Chimaera/Griffiths. Disc diameter is almost identical (within 1 or 2mm), but the offset of the disc is different.

Discs swapped and now looking a lot better with the 58mm offset many thanks

Next question .... what pads to get and recommendation for make please

[ChrisGadd]

Stainless braided hoses are on order, the reason I ask about the pads is because the TRW pads I have don't seem to fit very well. The metal clip on the back is very loose in the pistons, don't seem to cover the piston and they seem too thick. these are the same ones I have ordered.
