** would it make a difference **

Greetings,

Calling all you nut's! Well, not really nut's. Well, yes.

Would it make a difference if these two (2) bolts were reversed, IE: the nut on the inside. There must be a reason they are not but I can't think of one. Can you?

The reason I asked is I visted the Pro-Bolt web page today. My shopping cart was not pretty guys! Another shipment of Titanium bolts.

Now I would like to show off these little gems by reversing the way they are mounted. Just noticed the left arrow is to the caliper bolt but you get the idea.

2 things I can think of
1 there may be some clearance problems in full suspension travel if you change them around.
2 They may be in that way because it's the only way to get things together.
Your best bet is to leave it the way they put it in the factory.

DO NOT reverse those brake stay bolts. They are different.

The bolt has a shoulder on it and will only go in one way

ok, sounds serious. May I ask why? Torque force on the arm perhaps?

The brace has a bend in it to clear the rear tire and the front bolt MUST go in from the inside
