| Post subject: | 7 inch caliper |
Looking at getting the brakes working and I think my calipers are back to front. The bleed point it pointing down. All modern systems I work on have them up better for air bleed.I have 7 inch brakes. I found pictures of some 7.5 inch calipers and they have the bleed nipple at the top. So should ibe swapping them overs? Or is it a mini thing? Thanks

Swap them over, the bleeders should always be at the top. |

With decent 998 pads and a servo they don't stop bad. Not as good as 7.5s though. |

Spotted a bigger issues one has 998 pads and the other 997.... Does anyone know where I can the smaller one machined in Geelong/Melbourne? I've read that you can machine them to fit the 998 pad.

Actually there is a slight difference between the two calipers can I simply machine the smaller one out? On the plus side I've changed the front hoses over and now have brake fluid to the calipers! |

Send to me I've done them before. They just need the width milled out. |

They make performance pads such as EBC Greenstuffs for these 998 Cooper calipers too. It will help to make them perform a little better. |

Back in the day I ran them in my `Clubbymatic' with Hardly Ferocious Metal Kings and a VH44J servo. They stopped pretty well. But don't machine the rotors, they are only .250" thick when new. |

Yes, lucky they come new too... Just not the drive flanges.
