Sleeving, Make A 14mm Hole To 12mm For Brakes

[dori34]

hi guys, need some help so i can fit some brakes to my car.

basically stock bolt size is 14mm, new brakes take 12mm.

who can make a sleeve thing to fit the 12mm bolt to the original 14mm perfectly?

any help much appreciated.

Cheers

why dont you get 12mm bolts, or tap your calipers out to 14mm

[dori34]

because 12mm bolts wont sit properly in the hub as the hole is 14mm so theres 2mm of play.

i guess i could tap the caliper to 14mm but easier to get a sleeve if possible.

Hi.

You can do this yourself if you have a hacksaw.

Take the bolt to somebody that sells copper pipe.(Bunnings?) You want pipe that it inside diameter is 12mm- the outside of 14mm is ideal however if it is say 15mm all is not lost.

If 15mm cut the pipe along its length only 1 cut. Then cut to size required to fit in whatever it is tap in carefully( use a copper drift, rubber hammer or a soft piece of wood) .

As you tap in it closes up and becomes 14mm. Dont worry about it being copper as it is only a locating insert.

Hope this helps

Hi again.

Sorry but important.

Only cut the pipi ( oops italian again) pipe along its length on one half not cut it into 2 pieces.

Any machine shop could generate them. In the extreme case, you bore a bit of 14mm bar with a 12mm bit in a lathe.
