Hi All,
I need some opinions on what to do with the Volvo brake caliper
conversion on my 1966 SPL311 roadster, I've had the rotors turned to
the minimum diameter per the guidance at the 311s.org website, which is
a diameter of 11.05 inches. However, when I bolt the calipers on, the
rotor doesn't turn. I've put in a couple of spacer washers, so I don't
think the rotor is locking up from the side. It looks like the rotor
diameter is just a little too large and is causing the rotor to lock
up. The obvious solution is to get the rotor turned more and this is
where I need a little help.
For you folks who have run into this problem, was it actually the rotor
too large or is there something I'm missing?
Any suggestions on the clearance width between the rotor and the Volvo
caliper? I could probably assume the same as the original pads, but
with the rotors already turned down, I don't have an idea of the
original clearance. Any suggestions or info here would be greatly
appreciated.
Any suggestions on what diameter to turn the rotors? My strategy would
be to subtract the the clearance plus a smidge more to come up with a
workable diameter.
I'd hate to have to get the rotors turned a third time if I don't get it
right this time.
Thanks
