I looked for awhile and couldn't find a part number or the type of bolt it is. I got the the new rotors in, going to try to install them this weekend. I'll let you know how it works out.

 

yea I can't find anything either. Must be able to buy them somewhere? If not i guess ill have to take a bolt into a shop and have them make 2 up?

 

no one knows?

 

Did you read my post?

I'm not sure if the RL ones are made by brembo...
but if they are, like the TL...HONDA/ACURA WOULD NOT STOCK THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF A SOLD ENTIRE UNIT.

Same with headlights...you can't find TL internal headlight parts because Stanley or whoever ships them the entire oem piece to their specification. Those calipers arrived at the Honda plant in one piece ready for install...IT IS NOT A HONDA PART so the parts it's comprised of will not be honda parts.


I'm using logic here...but I bet I'm right. Find out who makes the caliper and contact them...I'm sure the bolt is readily available and probably used across many of their caliper platforms.

 

Thanks, your right Jay. I must have missed your post? But yea they are an entire unit. They are made by Advics. I made a post on the RL side of things and one guy mentioned to just replace them all with hex bolts from a hardware store. I just have to get the measurements. I can also send a email to advics support and see what they say as well

 

I would go that route, man...for sure!

 

lol which route? or both lol

 

I mean, I guess you can do either but since the bolt head is visible, I'd get the correct hardware from manuf.

 

A local specialized hardware store that carries every nut and bolt you can think of (not Home Depot) should be the place to get them, just match the thread specs.

 

I usually go to a place called fastenal for any bolt I need and they've always had what I need. I agree with guitarplayer16 find a place that specializes in it and you should be able to find it

 

ya contacted advics, they aint got shit fo me lol

 

That sucks if you find out what they are let me know I might replace mine when I paint my calipers.

 

I'm just going to replace them with 8 hex bolts from a hardware store. Ill post what I get with measurements

If I could do it over I wouldnt have split the two halves apart but I'm getting them powder coated so I guess they need to be taken apart anyways lol

 

Thanks I didn't want to seperate mine that why I am just going to paint them myself. I painted the brembos on my tl over a year ago and they look as good as the day I did them.

 

its really not a big deal to separate them to be honest. one of them came apart no issues. I needed to get all the seals and stuff out before putting them in the oven for powder anyway

 

Paint can look pristine if you take your time and prep right.

 

Put the rl calipers on my car today, the maxima rotors fit much better and did not rub the caliper. Good luck with your install when the time comes. It wasn't to pad just time consuming.

 

right on man, you not painting them?

in other news my 1.7 Acura EL wont go above 4k rpms. Gota get a new solenoid

 

I'm going to paint them red because the rear brakes are powder coated red

 

I'm surprised you didn't have them PC'd while off the car.

 

J, to powder them youll have to split them, because you have to remove all the seals and stuff as they will get melted in the oven...in my case spitting them turned out to be a lot of work. two bolts are stuck in there, had to cut the heads off them and been spraying penetrating fluid in there everyday and I'm getting very little movement. I am making some progress though. I just dont want to throw them in a press because that force will prob damage the aluminum

cutting the heads off should allow for one side to pull right off but they must be rusted pretty fucking good

 

Well, only because he pc'd other stuff.
I personally have never thought to PC calipers because I've had great success with painting and it allows me to change colors on a whim.

That sounds horrific, man...good luck!

 

I wasn't entirely opposed to painting them, but I just dont want it to flake off a year later or whatever. Ive had good experiences with PC.

And thanks man, gonna need it lol

 

No doubt, man...it'll be worth it.

 

Drill the bolts out or try that drill bit that grabs bolts who's heads have snapped off

And if you're doing this might as well get a rebuild kit for all new seals and stuff when you put it back together they'll be like new

 

yea theyre at my buddys garage now, he said he's got an idea. I was going to order a rebuilt kit but all my seals and stuff look great so I'm just gonna re use them

 

I was worried about the bolts being difficult to get out or stripping out the caliper. If you didn't have to split them I would have powder coated them. The only reasons the rears are powder coated is the rear calipers seized right after I bought the car. Brakemotive had a set of rotors pads and all four calipers powder coated red for a good deal so I got them.

 

Redline Goods Armrest came in today

 

Have any pictures and dos you get the extra padding?

 

Ill get a pic later . I did get the extra padding with it. It looks really good and comfy. My stock one is basically like resting your elbow on hard plastic lol

 

Redline arm rest is one of the last mods I need to do at some point...looking forward to seeing how yours is. Mine is nothing but leather on plastic as well.

 

I need one too.

 

Pics of the Redline Goods armrest





The padding used





Some other goodies

 

Nice, man!

 

Goodies FTW

 

Looks good.

 

2 sets of camber kits?

 

well one for each side in the rear. then a control arm for each side in the front ??

 

took the TL out of storage yesterday. Its at the body shop right now getting a few things taken care of. they put my rear lip on totally wrong lol and cpl other little odds and ends....





Gonna leave this here too.. What a pleasure it was to watch this guy over the past 20 years. Hard to believe 20 years have passed. I still remember the old afro kobe lol. Im a DIE HARD celtics fan but kobe was always my favourite player. Theres nothing that he hasn't accomplished A true legend in my books! I still can't believe he put up 60 last night, that was insane and almost didnt feel real. Gonna miss watching him thats for sure

 

^^ I've always been a laker fan and am a huge Kobe fan. I went to the game against the Celtics a week ago and had an amazing time watching him live one more time.

I lost my absolute mind watching the game last night and it was the perfect ending to an amazing career. He will be greatly missed.
