Brake Calipers

Today I mounted the brake calipers.  They’re the Grove 66-152.  The manual says to mount them straight ahead to slightly down.  As you can see they’re slightly down.  After mounting them I would have preferred them to point a little more forward or even slightly up.  I emailed Mark Goldberg to ask his opinion and he said they’re fine where they are.

The mounting plates for the brakes had holes for AN 6 bolts.  I would have had clearance issues with them that size so I ended up bushing them down to AN 5.
