Bill Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 Im putting my banshee back together and the calipers wont go on.The bracket that bolts to the spindle gets hit by the bolts that connects the rotor to the hub.I bought these calipers of ebay,they are off A 2001 Raptor and are supposed to be the same as A banshees.Will they work or did I get A bum deal?

BenBB Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 Do the brake caliper mounting bolts extend past the caliper stay (bracket)? The ends of those two bolts should be flush with the caliper bracket that they thread in to, if they aren't they will hit the rotor. I ran into the same thing using YFZ450 calipers on Banshee spindles, the YFZ450 bolts are longer for their aluminum spindle, just use Banshee bolts. Good luck. Quote
Bill Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Posted December 19, 2007 Its almost like my front hubs are tightening in to much.The rotor bolts are only hitting by an 1/8in,and the calipers are not seized. Quote
nunyabinness Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 i have that same problem with my banshee. i just ground the bolts down so they don't hit anymore. the only problem is, it will be hard to get the bolts out of the hub if i ever need to take the rotors off. Quote

Yea I guess I could do that,what about using recessed srcews in the rotor?I could cone those holes out with out any problems couldnt I? Quote
nunyabinness Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) i hadn't thought of that idea. i don't see why it wouldn't work. let me know if you do that and how well it works out because i may just pull my bolts out and do that as well. if i can get enough of a bite in my bolts. (i know that sounds really bad) Edited December 20, 2007 by nunyabinness Quote
