Below is the E-mail I just sent to Rob Mueller with photo's. Someone e-mailed me to say that they would post the photo's for me. If that person could get back to me. That would be great. If anyone wants the photo's E-mailed. Let me know.Bob Dunahugh

These are shots of the OEM caliper just before I removed it to put the 80 mm caliper on. I'm putting 6 wheel disc on at this time. As you can see at the top. Above the caliper pin. Is the area that I removed some material. That area was shaped to match the contour of the main body of the OEM caliper. The same shaping was done at the lower caliper pin.

Bob,

I'd be happy to post them to the Photo Site for you .

Could you take a couple of more shots for me:

1) one with the camera lens in line with the middle of the caliper that shows the mods to the upper and lower mounting points.

2) one with the camera lens oriented to show "That area was shaped to match the contour of the main body of the OEM caliper."

Regards,

I got a E-mail from Rob Mueller for some other photos of the OEM caliper after some very minor grinding. The area carries no load of the braking operation. As I said. Anyone want me to e-mail copies of the photos. Let me know. Bob
