Re: Disc Bobbins
there were some helpful bits of advice here that appear to have disappeared, does anyone know where they have been "deleted" to so i dont have to burden the kind people that took the time to answer again?

Re: Disc Bobbins
I was hoping for a bit input on this also Mang.
This is probably who I would use;they have been going for quite a while but under a different name.

How did you remove your existing ones and why ?

Re: Disc Bobbins
You could try somewhere like Stealth http://www.stealthproducts.co.uk/ I know they don't have the best rep for their discs but they did my bobbins on the Bimota - they changed the spring washers.
Other than that maybe EBC they do kits for their race discs so maybe they'd have some to fit the Yamaha standard ones
As I said before though it's probaby faster to fit a pair of second hand discs

Re: Disc Bobbins
sorry missed this question.
I removed them as they were rusty and stuck!
Needed to drill them out .
I have some bobbins that are the correct diameter but too long so need shimming.
I dont really know enough about brakes and bobbins to sort out an educated solution.
What lateral play should these things have????

Re: Disc Bobbins
thanks for the lateral play answer
drilling them out was relatively painless.
The discs i have are well within the wear limit though a bit scored. is it posible to have them skimmed whilst seperated?
