That's what happens when the bolts back off and get loose.

Nope they were good and tight, i even had red lock tight on them too . I'm guessing cheap metal or possible I hit it on something , but I don't see any scar marks on it so I'm leaning to cheap ...

Ok guys got the calipers now the question is what rubber lines did you use they float so obviously require rubber line.
thanks

I just threaded a aluminum 1/8"npt x -3 fitting into the caliper and got some -3 stainless braided lines.

That caliper uses banjo fittings. I did not use them. I used steel lines. There's enough flex for them to work.

It was just easier for me to us commonly available -3 lines and fittings.

Lug nuts. That's a condition us old men have. :lol: The caliper bolts are just to keep the caliper straight. The real stopping force should be applied to a lump of steel on the trailing arm up against the caliper. 8) Look at how they are mounted on a car. They never break on a car , right!
