    Front brakes

    Hope I didn't screw up my calipers, I put 2000 dual piston calipers on SN95 spindles. Didn't file spindles and calipers went on and tightened down, reading back through forum it says you have to modify spindles. Everything seems to be ok but should I take it back apart and grind spindles down a little to give more clearance?

    Just make sure they are not touching anywhere.

    It looks like they are touching but cant tell. If not they are really close.

    Do the grinding. The calipers move slightly as the pads wear so they could clear by a knats nut now and not later.

    So they were touching, took them apart and ground them, they are still close but dont want to take too much off spindle afraid of weakening it. How much safely can be removed?
