Thanks, remember how long they are by chance?

The bolts I have now bolt into the original flange on my axle, which is a 92. Whats the clearance between the flange and the tube? Looks tight...

oh geez... I believe it was 2 and 7/8 inches from axle face to Braket face were Brake flange bolts up.
Double check my thread were I compared them with measurements

not sure were my calipers are at but there is about 1 1/8 inches of actual thread. I would say 30mm I will try and get you a picture.

30mm of thread and 40mm long... of course the only one I can find doesn't work.

You can always have extra threads but not enough will screw you...

BTW set the pinion up 5 degrees and set the new flanges on at 45 degrees. That way your disc will then be clocked correctly.

I made fitment around .010 oversized. Clean the tube with something non- agressive first to remove the scale... the tubes are not perfectly round because its a welded seem tube.

The paint I used is appearently thicker than I thought, once I scraped some off it fits perfect.

My brakes have been off 90 degrees since I reused the stock flanges, so I was just going to eye ball it to 45 degrees offset than those

Heres a pic so you guys are happy

yep, thats the plan. I dont feel a need to be too exact since, like I said, they worked perfectly fine being 45 degrees off, so 1 or 2 wont be a big issue.
