Ducati Brakes

[kiya64]

Hi,

Im currently building Tamiya"s Ducati Panigale, however the thing is getting the better of me, the front brake callipers do not seem to fit! They either fit over the disc but not connect to the forks or vica versa. The front forks are the Tamiya detail up set, would this be causing the issues?

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi Neil, I have nearly finished mine and must be honest I had no problem fitting the calipers,they are however very close to the wheel, and there is virtually no distance between the brake line connecters and the tyre,my way of fitting these is to fit the calipers to the forks before fitting the forks to the handlebars. Then when its all in you should be able to slide the brakes into the slots and then screw the wheel in position.hope this helps.

I wish I could help here - but not yet.

I've ordered the Pocher 1/8 'biggie' - due September - so if you're looking for info then, I might be able to help.

Thanks for reminding me about that Roy. Dammit.

I've just ordered a real Ducati - not the Panigale, just the Scrambler, but the Panigale is a beautiful thing.
