[TR] caliper mounting hole freakness?

[Bob Danielson]

Paul,
 I had a similar problem when I mounted my rebuilt calipers this winter. I
went and looked at the pictures I took and discovered that I forgot to put
the split washers back on. Problem solved. Do TR3s have any kind of required
washer?

List,
I just had a baffling problem: I can't completely tighten one particular
bolt on one of my brake calipers????  ///////////////////  Seems like I
would have seen this problem before now, I mean I've had the caliper unit
off several times, and both mounting bolts are new from Moss and are the
right ones and are exactly just alike.
    The problem is seen this way: The bolt travels thru the dust shield, the
'alligator-eyes-looking' brake caliper mounting holes and lastly they screw
into the vertical link.  New bolts were obtained as length of bolts is
critical.  It's almost like it requires some sort of 'distance-piece' to
enable the top bolt to go thru completely.
   Has anyone else had this happen?

Thanks, Paul Dorsey  60 TR3
