Default FAO: S2's Running ST170 Brake Setup

Hi,

Quite a common conversion now and I am set to do the same. Firstly, I have the spacers and the bolts etc, but, is anything needed to be done to the hubs for them to fit? or are they a straight replacement and the hubs don't need drilling out?

Also, I remember Matt (zvhturbo) saying you need a certain type of braided hoses, can you remind me which ones I need as I dont have these yet

Cheers all

The holes are dependant on what size bolts he supplied with the kit I suppose. It may then need tapping with a thread so you can screw the bolt into it.

Oh bollox!

Just been waiting for that one all last week

Get hold of brom if you dont know the size of the bolt.

Holes don't need tapping

The caliper has an M12 fitting so drill the hub out to 12mm (as the old hardware is smaller). Then the bolt screws directly into the caliper from the back (with the spacer in between)
