[DeTomaso] Techno question: brake caliper bolt torque specs

[Charles Engles]

Dear Bill and Jim,


          These are PPC Wilwood brakes.  No tabs seen nor found.


          Now that I've got the calipers back on, I discover that there ain't no room to get a torque wrench in there to perform a proper torquing.   Hmmm,  I am afraid that I was left with the brut-a-dron approach and simply tightened them as hard as I could with the biggest ratchet I could get in there.


                       Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

Chuck, Don't forget to bend the tabs that lock the bolts. I forgot on my rear and one bolt fell out a long way from home. It is critical.  Bill 1362
