Zac,
The
calliper mounting point on many struts is very similar in relation to
the axis of the stub axle. The vertical height of the calliper
only has to be increased by the same as the rotor radius to accommodate a
bigger rotor (d=2r) The 1600/180B strut has the same bolt spacing as the
commy calliper, the later 180B 73 mm stub axle struts are preferred
when used with the Magna rotors but it's not essential. The smaller
1600/180B stub axle is 68 mm and the original diameter of the centre hole of
Magna rotors is 69 mm but this is easier to machine the centre hole out to
73 mm rather than to fill the 1mm difference.
regards,
Terry

Subject: brake calipersList, how do VT brake calipers with bigger discs bolt to 180B struts? Wouldn't the brake mounting points be too low down because of the small original disc on the 180b?Also, the VT calipers only bolt to 1600/180B struts?Thanks,zac
