Howdy guys. First post after weeks of lurking. On with the show...
I have a VK carby sedan that I've been doing some suspension work on. I`ve installed a set of Low Kings Springs front and rear, new dampers on rear. That bit was easy.
WRT the front end, I obtained a VL as a donor. I have removed the front struts and am using them with a Monroe Protection kit ( bump stops and dust boot) as they are in good condition. So, VL struts, rotors, brake mounts - but with my VK calipers.
Possible problem - one of the VL struts is Wiley, the other is Monroe.
Have them fitted and have a grinding sound coming from drivers side. Swapped over the caliper mounts and noise decreased. It appears the slightly thicker VL rotor is just touching the caliper mount.
I`m thinking of running an angle grinder round the offending edge tomorrow morning.
Any ideas?
