312mm carriers apparently...
« on: February 23, 2012, 11:01:06 am »
Hi,

Today I was about to fit some 312mm discs, pads and carriers to upgrade my 288mm front brakes...I test fitted them and the pads won't fit in the carrier. Have I been screwed over with these carriers as I'm near certain that the pads are right.

Thanks

J

Those carriers look like they have been freshly painted?

You might have to file down the bits of paint where the pad sits on the carriers?

I'm not a brake expert so maybe wait for confirmation from some of the other knowledgeable guys on here to confirm, but that’s what it looks like to me :smiley:

Yeah the paint was rubbish but I've filed it off and the pads still don't fit, I think I may have bought 288mm but I've no idea how you'd tell just by looking at them. Now the waiting game of finding 312mm carriers to crop up.
