Hi
just a follow up on Batfastard thread on the fitment with some additional info i found when fitting them on my T, hope this helps others out.. didnt want to hijack the original thread..
Extra items required (not in kit)
Bolt and spacer needed to hold the brake master cylinder on to rear set "“ bobbin works fine as per BF's fitting guide but you will need a nyloc nut on the end of it.
2 x 8mm bolts approx 10mm long, round head allen key type are best, this is to hold belly pan to rear set (when using longer factory pan)
Extra bits you will need to do....
Cut rubber brake hose from cylinder to reservoir by approx 50mm so cylinder sits level and the hose is unstressed
Adjust brake foot position by screwing in and out the cylinder rod on the brake side, tighten with lock nut when done
Extra bits I found out
Factory belly pan "“ I had no need to drill bracket hole to 8mm as one end is already that large, the other smaller end fitted to belly pan fine so I just turned them around.
The brackets only offer a 10mm drop from stock peg position when the bracket is inverted, this is the lowest position available (see brake issue below when used in this orientation). If using the brackets in the 'normal' position the pegs sits 10mm higher than stock.
The down side to getting the lowest possible position by using the main brackets in the inverted position is, the angle of the rear set is more vertical rather than being slightly tilted forward, this means the rear brake pedal lever is set too high, so I have to lift my foot slightly higher to activate the rear brake, it's at a higher position than the gear shift lever so feels unequal (For info the gear shift pedal has much more scope for adjustment).
I will swap the braket around and forgo the extra leg room to see if this inclines the brake level downwards more.
will let you know and post some photos
