brake pivot bolt/nut engagement
I'm installing a brake caliper, and am wondering if the recessed nut
I'm using it engaging enough threads. It take about seven or eight turns to snug the thing down. Is that enough? I have a long nut, but it won't work w/o a washer behind the brake. Would that be better to use? -- JT **************************** Remove "remove" to reply Visit http://www.jt10000.com **************************** |

If you want more, just get a similar bolt for a non-recessed nut, run a die down it, and cut the excess off. |
