Nice SS rear brake stop made by Max!

Looking good Roo! Very satisfying results, what a pain in the rear to clean all those fiddly parts, especially the projectiles that fly from the wire wheel! 😂😂

The 500 ones are 8mm I seem to recall the 550F uses 6mm bolts, could be wrong, many years since I stripped a 550F.

Pretty sure one of them uses a 7mm thread! Pretty difficult to get I imagine.

That bolt in stainless is not strong enough to do the job. The torque bar / torsion bar is a moving part and requires a 8.8 strength bolt. ;)
amx1992:
The bolts are made from 431 high tensile stainless, tensile strength 850 - 1000mpa. 8.8 bolts have a tensile strength of 800+, so how is the one ive made not enough to do the job?
I wouldnt mind, but you havent asked what grade stainless or anything, youve just assumed and come in criticizing my work.

I must apologize, and it is refreshing that someone knows what grades of stainless to be used. well done that man.
I am always suspicious on the used of stainless a, there are so many people selling stainless steel product's on ebay and other websites that are very low quality grades and some that even rust.
