well it technically isnt truly bolt on, you have to drill the caliper mount holes in the knuckle larger to accommodate the larger bolt.

the parts car is a 2000 hyundai elantra. grab the rotor, the caliper bracket, and the caliper itself. carefully drill out the mount holes on the knuckle. bolt it all on.


you must be running 14" or larger wheels for this.
now onto the pics

This is the type of stuff that makes Metros and Metro owners badass. Anybody can throw many at a project( well, not me), but a GMFer can crawl through the junkyard like a gopher and figure out how to make stuff work. Cool project! is there any pad overhang?

There is roughly 2mm pad overhang, but I can live with that. When I install the passenger side, I will take a few in progress pics. I expect it to make a substantial difference!
