Title: Golf caliper mounting.......... Post by: ROD on October 18, 2009, 03:59:48 PM Im mounting my calipers on plates all as per the Manky ones axle. But I can see that moving the mounting plate so that the caliper will be radially 90 degrees forward,ie in front of the axle centre line instead of behind the axle line ,I can get a better h/brake cable run.Will this be detrimental to braking efficiency,due to being 'leading' as opposed to 'trailing'?
