Ok guys I'm doin a little brake upgrade on my EK and I am trying to figure out what size the original front caliper bolt size is...

My new TL "sports model" brakes have a bigger caliper bolt which i am also trying to find the size for.

I am at work right now and was going to have one of the machinst make me a stepped bit so I could drill out the knuckle today when I get home, and mount up the new brakes...

So I don't have eigther of the bolts with me and I can't seem to find the info on the net... I figured maybe I would give it a shot and see if any of you could help me out. If not I'll just have to take care of it tomorrow...

A little teaser...

 

why dont you ask in the civic forum....

 

civic/teg EG/EK

I figured I might have better luck here...

really?

how about starting with which bolt youre even talking about.

 

#14 caliper bolt...

I have a 5 lug swap on the car, but the knuckle is the same between all the civic/teg chassis... So the bolt size will be the same...

Also looking for the size of the #6 caliper bolt on the TL sport model brakes...



I can't believe they don't list the sizes on the site...

Looks like I'll be figuring it out tomorrow

 

youre converting from the civic's floating caliper to the radial fixed of the TL?

A guy named migs tried this and what he found that on an ITR, he had to tap the TL caliper and use "timeserts" and used a civic/integra caliper bolt (yes I'm refering to #18 on that civic brake caliper pic.) The civic bolt is a 17mm if that helps and is 12 x 1.25mm (torque to 80lb-ft.)

P.S. I don't believe the TL caliper is considered radially mounted, its just a fixed 4-piston brembo caliper (not the same as the RL caliper).

 

I am working on the front brake caliper of a 1990 acura integra. What size socket does the brake caliper bolt take?

 

???? Do you not have a socket set or something? Common sizes are 12mm, 14mm, 17mm.

 

serious? trial and error from one of your metric socket...
