Friends - I am installing the 6-lug CPP disc brake conversion kit on my 51 AD. So far I'm OK with the quality of the product, but not the installation instructions, the how-to articles on their website, or the answers I got when I called them directly. My question is what are the proper torque values for the bolts in this kit... I'm hoping someone out there in Stove Bolt land has done this before or has general knowlege of disc brake installations and can guide me. Here is what I need and what I have done so far: Bottom Caliper Bracket bolts that secure the braket and the steering arm to the spindle are Grade 8 bolts, 1/2" I have torqued to 75 ft lbs, Grade 8 Top Caliper bracket bolts are 7/16" I torqued to 55 ft lbs. I haven't installed the caliper pin/bolts that secure the caliper to the caliper bracket yet, I found one website that had a torque value for these pins at 37 ft lbs. I also looked for torque values on the original brake backing plate bolts in the shop manual and couldn't find anything as a reference either. The original bolts use a castillated bolt with a cotter pin for safety, the kits is just a bolt, nut, and washer. Any concerns there? Any help would be appreciated. Bug
