Pictures of assembly for "sliding" calipers needed

[shadango]

My manual only shows the floating -pin and the fixed -diual piston style calipers....I am installing the sliders (80 NYer) on my car and I have a bag o' parts...including a few black rubber band looking things....and some funky little clips (I assume they are anti-rattle clips?) and 4 big clips with bolts .....I can figure out that the bolts screw into the adpators and the large plates go in the same spot "somehow" but these are completely foreign to this idjut.

Anyone have pictures as far as what goes where?

I'm picking up a complete assembly off of a cordoba tommorow (new pieces for less than the cost of new rotors!)

I'll take some pics for you if no one beats me to it...

the little clips sit ontop of the larger clips with the bolt going through both , I don't use the rubber bands

When I saw the rubber bands I just laughed.....I have NEVER seen rubber bands in a "hardware kit" before....felt like McGyver...LOL

I am most confused over how the large metal gizmos fit.....the way I have them right now, they dont do much.....

Thanks Cudazappa...will watch for pics of your find.

hope this helps

Thanks rusty!

I realized there was a picture on the tech article for the brake conversion....it shows rthe orientation of the big clips....



I guess I had it right after all...they just "sit" on top and are bolted down....what a goofy looking setup, eh?

Would still like to see how the rubber bands fit, when used.....

I found another picture inside of a PDF ffor installing a slider brake upgrade kit....

Go to page 6 of this document ---

Actually a good how-to for folks not familiar with the process.

Its this picture I am referencing...



What I dont get is that the clips as installed that way and those other little clips seem to do very little.

There are dimples on the big clips that dont seem to make any sense, and the small "clips" seem to do absolutely nothing....then there are the rubber rings.....what are they supposed to do?

WTF?

Seems to me that all the big clip is doing is holding the caliper into the adaptor by ways of the narrow "loop" that branches off of the big clip.     Then why the dimples? and why the little "clips"?

I am not an engineer, but these features sure seem pretty useless if installed this way....   

This system almost looks like an a last minute add-on to me......the clips on the slider calipers on my ford exploder were intricate gizmos, locking in a certain way etc....looked like it belonged.

I dont want to overthink this and if this is "correct" and is safe then its painfully simple and easy...

But I just want to make sure....I dont want my calipers comoing off at speed.  LOL

they are assembled correctly & will not come off not much of it makes a ton of sense to me but it works

[shadango]

LOL Gotcha.

So where does the rubber band go if one were to use it?  That pic above seems to show it just lays under the large plate?
