fitting AP big brake kits
Ok,I have my new 355mm brakes and 6 pots,how does it all go together?

For example do the bolts that hold the bracket to the hub go in so the nut is on the wheelarch side or the wheel side?,do the threads all need locking for safety?,the rotors are grooved is there a specific way they need to go on ?
Any other helpful hints please?

Disc Handing
Most AP Racing Brake Discs feature Curved Vanes. The brake discs are handed and should be installed with the cooling vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation as indicated in the sketch.

The normal discs for 355mm x 32 mm are cp 3581 family , and are floating discs, the diagram above shows these, the slot indicates the need for a "Bobbin " kit to be used to allow the disc 0.4mm movement on the bell .
If im wrong and its a "hole" in the disc , then the nut is usually fitted away from the hub face pointing inwards so it dont catch anything on the bell face .
hope all is clear !
