Default This could have been real nasty

Well it would appear I narrowly avoided disaster on the way home Saturday night. I took it out on Sunday arvo, got 50m down the road and heard "clunk clunk crack bang bang bang".

I thought it sounded like something dropping into a wheel, getting spat back into the wheel arch and then bouncing along the under carriage. Stopped got out and found something. A bolt, grabbed it just in case it was mine and kept on my way.

Put it up on stands tonight and found this.




This is what was missing



Considering how hard I was pushing through what IMO is one of the best driving roads in this state I am DAMN lucky. I will be having a chat with the blokes who put these calipers on back in March. I also found that the calipers are on the wrong sides, L on the drivers and R on the passenger. Not a real issue but annoying since the bleeder nipples are now at the top instead of at the bottom.
