instead of measuring the holes front to back and back to front and then taking average, you can just measure from front to front and that would be the same as measuring from middle to middle
That is wrong, you have to eyeball one of the sides because you can only measure inside or outside features, not both. Pro tip with digital calipers to easily measuring distance between hole centers is to measure hole diameter, zero your calipers (incremental or zero button) then measure outside to outside distances between the holes. Zeroing is actually subtracting two halves of the diameter from your measurement those halves are the ones from the both centers to the measuring points. This trick can be useful for lot of measurement.
@@Wojtgaw just a note to do this easier. measure the I.D. of one of the holes with your calipers. zero the calipers. then put your calipers in each hole and go far end to far end. the calipers will now display center to center. ezpz
boofighter the porsche calipers are set up for a mid engine car already. what i mean by that is the piston/rotor size is already engineered for a mid engine weight distribution. I only need to do minor tweaking with a proportion valve.
You cannot adjust it all out. So if you got ctsv or some other front engine calipers, they would be so large on the front that you would have a hell of a time pulling all that front bias out, even with a proportion valve. You have to start close to the right bias and tweak from there
@@therealboofighter Eyyy good to see ya! Hahaha. Good point on the mid engine brake setup, Engineer Freely. I won't lie, I just bought a set of budget Brembos for my Mk1 MR2 which are probably going to be heavily front biased. Learning process! You may address it in another video, but do you have any thoughts on what to do for the parking brake?
The volume on this video is f*cked. I can't watch the video because of how loud you edited the music in and it is way too loud while people are trying to sleep in the house.
Why not buy a metric caliper, so much easier?
Hi I'm building some today and helps just get my head in the game

That way works also, thanks.

@@Xeblinho think of it again. Or better, try it yourself

@@danieljohnson149 my method is simpler 💁
it be awesome if you could do this with ears caliper
What is it about Porsche brakes that make them desirable? Just the size, or do they offer more clamping force than other calibers the same size?
Callipers not calibers. Lol.

Thanks for the reply, so it is more about not having to adjust them after they are installed?

Where are you located? I'm trying to do a brake swap for my viper and could use your expertise
Hello. I got a brembo caliper from a pontiac G8 that’s has 355mm rotors. My question is if i can use the same caliper on a 330mm rotors? Thank you! 😊
I have the same question!
Omfg the volume changes between voice and music! 😨
It scared me at first watching this video at 1:25 in the morning
So I can use a caliper from another car on my stock rotors ?
sure
how did you centre the caliper to the rotor?
Measurements and feeler gauges
Where are you located I want to do the same

I'm sorry.
