Rob Dudley Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I had a bolt back out and hit the rotor so I disassembled and cleaned it all. I bought new fine thread grade 8 bolts and lock washers as shown in the manual. The one thing I couldn't find in either the Avanti manual or the '59-'64 manual was the torque for these bolts. Is it listed somewhere else? These are the 3 bolts that mount the adapter that the caliper is mounted on to the spindle. I consider them very important.

dynolou2 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Rob, if they are 1/2 - 20 75 - 80 ft. lbs, if they are 3/8 - 24 40 - 45 ft lbs. as found in Avanti Shop Manual section "F" under brakes. Lou Cote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dudley Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Thank you, They are the 3/8-24. I had extrapolated the probable torque setting but couldn't find it listed. I know it could be different because they are threaded into a casting. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
