Part Five : Brake Bracket Bolts
Also note ,
On the original / stock setup , one of the bolts that fastened the brake bracket to the spindle doubled as a bolt that fastened the steering arm to the spindle . ( both bolts actually fastened the steering arm )
With the Tru Turn System , the steering arms are fastened to spindle by the , afformentioned shaved nuts and bolts .
But if you are using a stock brake bracket , it still attaches to the original holes as it did from the factory ..
The original factory brake bracket bolts were fairly long because they went through the bracket , knuckle , and steering arm .
So , the original bolts could not be used in these brake bracket holes anymore ..
Anyway , I got some grade 8 shanked bolts and cut them to length and locktighted them appropriately.
Notice the deep shank on this bolt , if you use an unshaked bolt in this position , the brake bracket will be allowed to move . Make sure to use a shanked bolt ..and locktite !!
Here's a picture of the whole thing bolted together .
