front backing plate eliminator question
« on: Sep 12, 2007, 11:21:33 AM »
you guys running this on the front. what are you securing the hard line from the caliper to the hose to? i just bought the hard lines, and i just realized i have nothing on the axle to keep them from flopping around.

i thought of cutting it off my backing plate and bolting it to the caliper mount somehow, but is there a cleaner way to accomplish this?

Very cool Oops.  :thumbs:     when I do my front end I'm going to do that.  I really like not having to open the brake system to swap birfs. 




 Is that in the pirate faq?  :headscratch:  seen it here or there before just cant remember where.
