Micrometer (was RE: calipers was RE: [Shotimes] tie rods and rotors)

Yes. There are tolerance differences. Todd even made
different brackets for the superlite IIA calipers and
the BSL's although the mounting ears for both calipers
is supposed to be the same. I actually elongated the
holes somewhat so I could adjust the caliper to
position it where I wanted it before torquing
everything down...Let's just hope that they never
shift around on me (they probably do, they flex so
much anyway)
