Default JL9 brake measurements needed

Hi all

I need some measurements from those that have the JL9 12" standard front brakes and either A-molds or Sawblades.

The measurement i need is the gap between the front of the caliper and the wheel, as shown in the photo attached.

Thanks!

hey man sorry. i had meant to respond to your request in that other brake thread, and then i've been busy and couldn't get to this one either till now. measured the JL9 from the sawblades and i get 9/16th's spacing between them. which google tells me is 14.287mm since i don't own a metric tape. hope this helps. sorry for the delay.

Thanks mate!

no dramas on the delay, i am never in a rush

I would have to assume your pads and rotors are in reasonably new shape?

reasonably yes. def not new. i can't hazard a guess on what mileage is on them but they would not require replacing because of wear for some time yet.

and for the record i'm so f'n jealous of that callaway of yours. just a great looking ride. love that hard top just like mine. remember seeing the sale thread when you grabbed it. cheers homie!
