"DOUG JENKINS: Hi, I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. The next piece that goes on is the actual bracket that the caliper bolts to. Having it bolt on in two pieces like you see here, the first piece is the adapter, the second piece is the bracket that goes directly to the caliper. One of the advantages there is that you can get better clearance. If you need to shim things, you have plenty of material to--plenty of mounting surfaces to shim. So the kit comes with a group of spacers you put in between here and that gives us a good point to start with to make sure we have proper clearance. These are Nylok nuts they supplied with this kit. Now, they have a nylon insert in them, so it's a modern style lock nut."
