Caliper cradle mix up - should I be worried?
« on: 15 March 2016, 17:43:29 »
As part of the front suspension overhaul, I've been careful so far not to mix things up, and kept the O/S separate from the N/S.

However during the cleaning process, I've not got a clue which carrier / cradle is which, and dimensionally they both appear to be the same..... apart from the numbers cast into them.

5593/2 <> 2
5593/2 <> 4

Anyone know which is which? AFAICS they are interchangeable and shouldn't pose a problem on reassembly, but thought I'd ask anyway.

As 'Arris was going to say before he fell asleep on his keyboard, the carriers are identical L/H and R/H.  Difference in stamped number might be a production line, or batch number possibly.

I've never paid any attention to which one came off which side.  :y

Thanks for the confirmation - couldn't tell them apart and my vernier couldn't either.  :D

Might be in for a long wait, they tend not to do that until they've landed.  ::)
