Can we have a sticky for 280mm brakes?

amusingly, that's exactly how mine's held in, lmao!

 

Taxi for Chris, I reckon

 

Seen Taxi for me pls!

 

Can you fit 280mm disk's break on a taxi as well?

 

bloody hell 4 pages!! I think we need a sticky section for pss take threads

 

** please help **

I read on a forum that really fast car's have 'floating disks' and thought that if I left the disk retaining screw off the disc would be able to rotate and hence I would have 'floating disks'?

However, since putting it all back together they don't float how I imagined - I think this is because of the 5 massive bolts going through them. Should I take these off as well?

thanks

 

Take those of - the disk's retaining screw talked to 5NM will be fine.

 

ah ok, I think it will be better anyway as my car now rides as though the wheels are an egg shape? I think because I left the disk retaining screw (DRS) off, the disks and then ultimately the wheels arn't centred on the hubs properly.

Guess this is a lesson for everyone, the DRS is more important than the wheel bolts. Live and learn I suppose

 

i think youll find that its down to SCIENCE

i cannot search at the moment, but there was a thread about disc screws being there due to SCIENCE. that thread was epic iirc

As you are new to boat anchor ownership, I wood take this thread on break's very very seriously.

I read somewhere you need to talk's to 5mN plus 90 drive round der block, then come back and turn's another 180.
