Stumbled across this older thread while researching for any possible future maintenance, and decided to make a slight correction so nobody picks up some inaccurate info by mistake …
0.2 mm = .008” (not .079”) And also FWIW, here’s another link to Eric Shea’s excellent thread describing the rear caliper venting clearance adjustment procedure: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...ting++Clearance |
