Hi,
can any one tell me how much radial play should be on a CB750 F1 front brake caliper holder (45115 392 003). I've just fitted a new holder and I still have a wee bit of radial play but maybe because it could be a repro part and not a genuine Honda part.

BTW I replaced the holder to reduce front brake judder.

please see photos:

Up and down play should be negligible, did you replace the arm and the pin?

Skoti:
Yes I replaced the arm and pin, please see photos.

Up and down play is about 1.5mm, is this normal?

hairygit:
I would not worry too much about 1.5mm at the furthest point from the pivot. Make sure you give the pin a good coating of thick grease, that will help stop it seizing and wearing too fast, and some people drill and tap the arm at the pivot and fit a grease nipple.

Skoti:
Thanks for the reply,
Fitting a grease nipple to the holder seems a good idea.

The old holder and pin I replaced had a lot of play and a massive amount of front brake judder when braking lightly, the new holder has reduced that some what.

I was concerned that the new holder was a repro part and not up to Honda spec, but if a little play is normal then I have to live with a little brake judder.

Thanks again for your reply.
