Fitting ST165 brakes

[OlberJ]

Have read a bit on fitting the ST185's but not on the twin piston St165 setup.

The old yin has drilled the discs to the correct pcd (Cheers for that disc Murf, will get it back to you this week) and the rest is there ready to go.

So what will i need to do, anything need modified to fit?

The standard brake lines etc just connect up? I take it i just need to clamp them when changing them over.

Will get this done tomorrow, hopefully.


Cheers,
Olie

errr ST165's use the same disc as the Mk1.... Why's the old yin had to drill anything?

Apart from that its all just plug and play - everything compatible.

The discs we got with the brakes were 5 stud.

Thicker than the mk1 discs, no?

There's sumthin pretty seriously up with the current brakes so i'll probably swap the discs anyways just incase.

As long as it's a straight swap though, cheers.

Okay, that was easy. Note to all future swappers :

When you put the brakes on they'll be full of air. lol

Nightmare doing that in the rain but it's done now, jus going to head out for a test drive.
