I wouldn't suggest using a nut.
I would use a tap and thread the GT4 calipers so that they function like the ones you took off. much safer and a cleaner install. great job so far |

I would use a tap and thread the GT4 calipers so that they function like the ones you took off. much safer and a cleaner install. great job so far x2 - I'd like to make you some proper spacers for those back calipers if you'd let me [postage shouldn't be much?]. I can make them out of 4340 steel or possibly some stainless if I have the right size material left laying around here from one of our SS jobs. All I'd need are the dimensions of the set of washers you currently have installed [just 3 - ID, OD, and length is all I'd need]. Metric will be fine if that's what you're used to. I can also make a dimensional drawing for your use and so others can easily follow your footsteps. It would be my pleasure to contribute to the advancement of FWD Celica's. It would benefit me too as seeing Darth Ripley's install first hand has convinced me of the power they are capable of - I'll be doing this sometime in the next year as well. Nice job so far and an impressive set of updates/modifications/swaps. What happened with the engine swap? Saving that for last or changed your mind? --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
