Suzuki disc brake project

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So, one of my projects with my 2A is to swap out all brakes with discs. 

I am at the point where I need to get my hubs separated from the drums in the front, but before I do I also have a question about the hub spindle to axle flange bolts

My disc brake caliber brackets were CNC milled out of 1/2" mild steel and as such, the bolts have a bit too little thread engaging the axle flange for my tastes - hopefully that makes sense. 

Does anyone have the specs on these bolts as far as size, thread pitch, etc?

I think they are 3/8's bolts? Grade 5 or grade 8? (I'd be upgrading to grade 8, by default, and would obviously want a bit longer bolt for better engagement)

	My brackets are 3/8" thick so you will need to adjust your bolt lengths for your 1/2 " brackets. I used a from a regional store in Ohio called Menareds- HEX-CAP 3/8-24 x 1-1/4" GR 2028008 12 each are needed.
