Well

Gotcha, then you have to move the mount arm by shaving the outside and add spacers on the inside.
Or...shaving the caliper to move the center line closer to the rotor.

Hmm...
Shaving the outside... Damn it, then i need to send the part away to have it done, I don't have the equipment to do it my self. (Or the know how either)
I bought it because it was suppose to be a "bolt on" package... Clearly I was misstaken.. 
Then I need to have the a collar made up with is the exact same in thickens as what i shave of the mount arm, right?

The weird part is, that in the opposite side of the caliper, the offset is fine.. But the disc i straight, I just checked... 

[Pat Conlon]

Can you space the rotor out?

[keand3]

Can you space the rotor out?

Perhaps, but then as it turns around its even futher out, and his the metall on the caliper.

Doc writes in his 17" FZR write up:
On the Disc side you will need to have the brake torque arm bracket reduced on to the swingarm side by 12mm, this will make the total width 20mm. The spacer between the torque arm bracket and the wheel will need to be 12mm (standard is 13mm) again 20mm inner diameter and outside same diameter as OE spacer (seals are different between models so spacer has different outside diameter.)

The spacer that came along is just 1mm thiner, and is not enugh to make the disk that off track.. Might it be the caliper itself not staight?

Here's a long shot,  have you got a spare left hand front 1TX or 36Y brake caliper?
If you have just try that in the place of the rear caliper you've got.  It will fit, I used one for a rear on my FJ.
As I say, it's a long shot.

[keand3]

Hmm... I think I have one, but not sure if it's left or right side.. When I upgraded the forks, oone of the bolts were impossible to get of so i sold the fork with the caliper on...

I will try looking for it and see if it fits. Long shots have saved me before, so fingers crossed :-)

Ken, I may have the answer for you. I can remember clearly thinking about 6mths or more ago that this was going to be a problem with the parts you were gathering. I just can't recall what it was.

I will have a look back through the posts when I get home tonight. Hopefully it will shed some light.

[keand3]

Thanks Noel. 

Something to shed some light would be nice

Ken, is the disc sitting on top of these lugs or around the outside of them?



Noel

[ribbert]

Ken, does you FZR wheel have a number stamped on it, something like 4JH, on one of the spokes?

Noel

[Firehawk068]

Ken, does your rear caliper bracket look like this?
(swingarm side)


If it doesn't, you need to have it machined so that it moves the caliper closer to the swingarm (away from the wheel)

I checked back in my notes, and I had 10mm removed from the flywheel side.............(from the stock brake caliper bracket)

I also had 7mm removed from the cushdrive, and the collar between the cushdrive bearing and the wheel bearing.....



This is my caliper/rotor spacing



I used a FZR1000 Exup wheel 17x5.5

Hope you get it sorted out.

PS: By the way, your FJ is looking good so far!  

[keand3]

Noel,  there wasn't any pictures in you post, so i can't really answer you. But i think they sit on top. Week have to check tonight after work.
I think i have access to photo of my run on my phone, I'll check for that number.

Yes,  my caliper bracket is machined and also the cushdrive is machined. The collars is also in the right dimension.
Might be a stupid question, but could you explain what flywheel is? Its a term in unfamiliar with 

Cheers
Ken

[keand3]

Noel, i couldn't see from that picture if the rim had that number stamped on. Will check tonight. If you look at the bottom picture from Firehawk068 and see how his disc is mounted  that's how mine is too.  :-)

Firehawk068 (don't know your real name)
It looks to me that you have roughly the same amount of clearance from disc to the outside of the caliper as i do..
My wheel spins just fine, well, it has some resistance but that's due to the newly installed ebc pads.. :-)

Cheers

The reason I asked is that the amount the disc appears to be too far out is about the same depth as those lugs and while I haven't had time to look anything up I seem to recall something about the disc you ordered at the time.
What model wheel is the disc for?

Noel

[keand3]

I think it's for the  the 91 model..
