Anyone have a Z32 front knuckle on hand?

Looking for the thickness measurment on the caliper mounting ears.

yeah. had s14/z33 caliper brackets but they're not right. hoping the z32 thickness will be closer to g50.

You need an exact mm measurement? I have a tape measure here, but I can bring some calipers with me tomorrow if needed.

Also, what are you trying to achieve here? I just went through this brake thing, so I may be able to shed some light.

fractional should be fine.

i am going to run z32 calipers with z33 track rotors up front. i assume that the z32 relocation brackets will work, just need to compare thickness so that to caliper will be positioned correctly. i can shim a little, but the s chassis brackets i had from another build were way off.

Really? I used S Chassis Brembo brackets on the front of mine with minor issues. I had to trim the bracket itself just a hair, and run a 2mm washer to center the caliper on the rotor, but that was about it.

I'll measure and get back with you.

I was wrong I have a R32 spindle. Dunno if it helps but the thickness is ~3/4"
