Front Caliper Torque settings ???

[Douglas]

Hi All.
Does anybody know the torque settings for the front caliper pinch bolts?
These are the 3 bolts that hold the two parts of the calipers together. I have tried the workshop manual but it only gives the settings for the radial brake caliper bolts to the axle mount, which is 38 Nm.
Thanks and regards from Sunny Gibraltar

Why are you taking your caliper apart? Are you rebuilding it for some reason?

35NM with loctite sounds reasonable

I am not taking the calipers apart, just changing the OE pinch bolts for some titanium stuff. It's a bit of a fetish thing. Thanks for the Ducati link guys. 35Nm seems O.K. I might contact Harris Performance to be double sure though, you don't play around with brake calipers, it's not good for the brain to think your brakes will fall apart when you need them.

monoblocs. nothing to hold together

Hmmm. You got a point. What are those bolts there for then?

Stock one's aren't Monobloc's, but it was sort of a suggestion as Kismet's are; off a Duk 1098 if I remember right.

Just make em really tight, no need to be super precise with them.
