Are there any extra parts, steps or precautions needed when installing these calipers?? Looking into getting a pair and have yet to see an install write up

Pics for good measure

 

they come with instructions. pretty straightforward except that you have to cut/trim your dustshields.

 

same as what you have in the pic I believe.

how much a set of those cost

 

You can contact Opak Racing or GT Motoring for pricing. For used ones, prices vary a lot depending on condition.

GTM crewed for Opak during the 25hr T-Hill race several years ago:

Install is pretty straight forward. there's a certain way the washer is supposed to be though depending what year brakes you have, but your instruction manual will tell you that in the pictures.

also, use a tq wrench on the mounting bolts as they're made of aluminum i believe.

other than that, i find that bleeding the inside first, then outside for each caliper gets more air out for some reason.

pads are your typical ITR pad. but you'll have to shave the back to be flat.

good luck!

 

does anyone know how big those washers are?

Is it okay to remove the dust shield completely?

 

i've taken the dust shield off mine completely. no issues.

washers are about the size of a nickel if i recall. i'm sure reusing OEM bolts are ok too as long as you antiseize.

 

I bought a set of Spoon twin blocks used and I am about to install them on my 2000 ITR. I didn't receive the bolts or washers with them, or any other parts, just the calipers themselves. Which bolts and washers do I have to purchase to do the install properly? Also, are there any other parts included wth the calipers new that I am missing?

 

i'm sure you can reuse your OEM bolts (the ones that bolt the caliper onto knuckle), just make sure you use antiseize.

no other parts really other than pads and the washers for your brakeline going in.

 

The bolts that come with the Spoon calipers are *longer* than OEM. I'm not sure by how much, but if Spoon bothered to provide the longer bolts, then I think they are necessary.

 

correct. spoon bolts are longer.

i will get exact mesurements of bolts and washers tomorrow if someone doesnt before me.


spoon on left with washer, oem on right ajr in canada should be able to get you the bolts. opak could careless unfortunately. lol
