Re: AIM Identification for J56 support bracket and caliper
David,
Yes, I agree with you re: C1's re: disc brakes...........
I wish I could provide you with a more definite response however, I do not have any drawings to show which bolts.... I'll try this way.......:
1) bolts that attach the calipers to the front suspension (NOT the bolts that hold the caliper halves together)
2) bolts that attach the support brackets (on the front) to the suspension (there are part of the F41 option suspension hardware.......
3) bolts that attach the larger diameter torsion bar to the front suspension (these are part of the F41 option suspension hardware......
4) other attachment bolts (I can't explain which ones because of a lack of a drawing) which make up the F41 Option. I know there are a number of others both on the front of the car and the rear of the car)......
Thank you David for any help you can provide....... (if you could just post (as Mark notes) or send me the drawing, that would be great too!!- Top

1) The front caliper attaching bolts for standard brakes are 7/16-20 X 1-1/4". Originally, these were GM #186645 but that part number was never available in SERVICE. These are GM 300M grade bolts (SAE grade 8). With J-56 the FORWARD of these bolts was replaced with a bolt of 2-1/4" length to accommodate the thickness of the caliper support bracket. The rear bolt was the same as standard brakes. A lockwasher was used with both bolts;
2) The bolts that attach the steering arm, spindle, and caliper bracket are 7/16-20 X 2-1/4". When the caliper support brackets are added for J-56, these bolts are 1" longer than those used for cars with standard brakes and are, thus, 3-1/4". These bolts are also GM 300M material grade. They are retained by a self locking nut, probably of GM #9422300. I believe a flat washer was used in conjunction with these nuts.
3) Bolts that retain the sway bar retainers to both the frame and to the lower control arms are exactly the same as non F-41;
4) I know of no other bolt differences for standard versus F-41 front suspension.In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top
