Wed, 02 March 2005 01:30 toof wrote on Wed, 02 March 2005 08:05 ummm pad face not coming in contact with whole disc = very very bad think as the pad wears a section of unworn pad will be produced outside the swept area of the rotor. these two sections (one per pad) will get closer and closer until they touch stopping your brakes from working.... at to add to that given the correct size of the st185 rotor there is be a fairly significant portion of pad not being swept by the rotor which will hamper braking force greatly. as well as... since say ~10mm of pad will not be swept the piston pressing at the back of the pad will no being recieving equal (over the face of the pad) recative force from the pad impacting with the rotor hence it is more likley that the pad will either slip or move in a fashion you would not like. id speak to your engineer keeping in mind all brake conversions must be tested and engineered, before continuing i think form a puerly legal sense you may need to have the correct size rotor/caliper combo.... try and grab the twin piston numbers as they are a perfect fit. and use the same pad to boot. I dont think u read my msg properly toof. I dont intend to do this for some of the reasons that you listed there as i dont belive it would make any difference in braking over the original braking setup. The pads that i was going to use to see if it worked are half worn (i wouldnt use brand new pads it would be a waste) for this reason i dont think that they would ever have a chance of touching each other however i dont think they would anyways they would have to wear 13mm each. Also i intend to get my brake conversion legal but for the moment im experimenting. I appreciate the feedback tho [Updated on: Wed, 02 March 2005 01:32] [Report message to a moderator]
