4: 14mm grade 8.8 bolts
4: 16mm by 14mm dry bearings
1: set of 330mm pads
I ran into a few hiccups through out the way but I made everything work. The first rotor that I clearanced I ran into a little problem with the rotor hitting the spindle. I thought that it wasn't completely over the center bore on the hub so I kept on boring out the center of the rotor but it turns out that the rotor was actually hitting the spindle at 2 spots. So since I clearanced the center bore too large it looks like one of my rotors is going to be garbage now since it wont center on the hub.
Also noticed that the 350mm pads that I have will not work because they over hang on the inside edge of the rotor. They would work for a while until the pad/rotor wears down enough to start hitting the lower surface that they over hang on. So I went to autozone and compared the 350mm pads to the 330mm pads and sure enough the 330mm pads look as though they will work a lot better.
Have you tried the 330mm pads how they sit with the 345mm ML55 rotors? Are they better than 350mm pads?
