Title: Swift assistance required. ED30 owners.
Post by: QD MBE on April 27, 2010, 07:22:26 pm

Right,

Only for Ed30 owners with Std Pescara's and Std 312mm Brakes fitted.

I am doing some big maths to assist DaveB.  I need a measurement taking.  I need to know the measurement from the face of the Front brake disc to the inside/back face of the wheel.  It needs to be fairly precise to the nearest mm.

I am trying to work out what size spacer would be required to clear the Porker caliper behind the Pescara...................

The measurement i am after is shown below.

Do you need the lowest point ?, iirc the alloy curves on inside hence its possibly a different measurement at the top than it is the bottom (as so will middle too)

Give me just the mid point, just looking for a ball park spacer figure, a point to work from in order to get 4-5mm clearance.
