REFLECTOR: Cleaveland brakes

[Chuck Jensen]

SAD,
 
If I recall correctly, during the change from Matco to Clevelands, when
you rotate it 45, you'll only have to drill half as many holes as you
thought because one set will line up for the new orientation...or did
you already know that?  If so, please ignore me!!!!

Thanks Guys:
 
My torque plate only has four holes in it right now so drilling four
more on the 45's won't be a problem.  I appreciate the help.

	Steve, 
	
	I have an XL-RG and I opted for the Cleveland upgrade when I
ordered
	the kit. I, too, "followed" the directions (I thought) and
discovered
	I had made a mistake. I found (later) an instruction sheet among
	parts that said the caliper mounting plates should be rotated 45
	degrees and the holes redrilled. This will put the caliper at a
45
	degree angle at the back of the gear leg. And I had to contour
the
	entire bottom of my gear leg.
	
	I can explain this best by directing you to the photos I posted
on my
	website when I went through the proce! ss. Explanations are
there for
	you to.
	
	Go to http://clik.to/velocity, click on the "Construction Menus"
	button, then click on the "Wheels/Brakes" chapter button. I have
11
	photos and descriptions posted there. I hope this will help.
