RL guys,

sorry for the random question, but im trying to source brackets for the RL caliper to my tsx. I was wondering if you guys could measure on your calipers the distance from hole to hole where the bolts screw onto the hub/bracket.
Thank you so much for your time and effort.

 

Stock caliper? or Aftermarket?

 

sorry the Stock 4 piston Brembo Caliper.

heres a picture of what i need, the red mark distance.

 

As far as I remember, IT MIGHT fit. I try to measure it with my old Brembo BBK from my TL/TSX and the hole seem to be similar. Only thing you need to do is probably do a custom bracket.

 

And of course remember that the RL calipers are not made by Brembo, but Nissin.

 

yea, i have a brembo bracket that i think will work already, but need to know for sure the distance between the holes, before i buy the calipers. then rotors will be on the list. anyone have this measurement?

 

Got any more info on this Chas? I always though they where made by brembo and rebranded to make it look Acura OEM stock?

 

The RL car-show KB-1 had Brembo brakes, and the TL's have a "brembo-licensed" brake bearing the Brembo logo. The KB-1 RL's we all drive have magnesium-bodied, 4-pot Advics brakes.

Great photos, HERE.

 

anyone have the measurment i need?

 

Hey guys, anyone have a service manual to help this guy out? The answer should be in there. If I still had my RL, I'd go out and measure.

 

I got the service manual....you really think it will be in there?

 

Just went through the entire brake section....I can tell you how to remove and install them but not the measurements.

 

just measured with the wheel on....got 5.25" maybe off by 1/16th"

 

I really don't know what I am supposed to be measuring. There are four obvious bolts that I could not really measure without removing the wheel, which I cannot do right now.

The inner pair looks to be between 5.25 and 5.5 The outer pair is close to 9.5

This is a picture I took last year, to show you the two pairs of bolts, but I really need to take the wheels off to get a good measurement. Maybe on the weekend

 

thanks for your help guys, but these are the two bolt gap that i need measure.
these are the bolts that hold the caliper to the hub. they are running the direction of the arrows, that is the gap that i need measured. thanks again.

 

anyone????

 

I won't be able to do anything until Sunday maybe.

 

Surprising. Thanks for trying, though.

 

I can see that the bolts are 14 x 1.5 mm (78 N-m), but thats about it in the manual.

 

Have you tried going to the Parts Counter at a dealer to get a sample and then measure with a steel rule?

 

Given how uncommon the 2G RL is, most dealers won't have a sample on hand and would have to order it. Worth a call, though, maybe the OP has a high-volume dealer nearby.
