Caliper Cover should rest directly against the face of the brake caliper. The installer should verify that the bridges are set to 88° as depicted on image. Installer may adjust as needed.


2 Clips Rubbing Rotor

- Use .013 feeler gage to inspect clearance between clip and rotor.
- Reform bridges to 88° per step 1.
- Manipulate angle of clip


- Trim clip 1/8" maximum.


- Contact MGP Tech Support if required.

3 Wheel Clearance

- Wheel diameter must meet minimum wheel diameter listed for fitment.
- Wheel weights might have to be moved inboard if they interfere with Caliper Cover.
- Hub area of wheel near lug nuts is rubbing Caliper Cover. Very Adjust bridges 88° or contact MGP Tech for more help.
- 3mm Spacer might be required to create space.


IMPORTANT

When installing covers, be sure to keep the steel clips for the front and rear caliper covers separate as they are different.

Before starting install, measure the gap between your wheel and the brake caliper. You will need 1/8 inch clearance.

QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE


*Some brake pads have retainer wires that may interfere with proper caliper cover installation. Use pliers to bend and flatten these wires so that they do not protrude past the front of the caliper. This will not damage or affect your brakes.


1


Place the caliper cover on the brake caliper. Cover should be centered across the front. Caliper cover bridges should be positioned against the brake caliper bracket.

2


Slide the stainless steel clips over the bridges and caliper brackets and around the threaded studs to fasten the cover. Fit should be snug and secure.

3


Install the supplied locknuts onto the threaded studs to secure clip to bridge. Tighten with 3/8-inch wrench or socket to 25 inch pounds. Over tightening could pull stud through aluminum bridge.

4

Important! - Use feeler gauge or the included paper strip to check clearance between clip and brake rotor. A gap of at least .013 inch (.32 mm) is recommended (enough to slide the paper strip in and out without sticking). Re-install wheel and tighten lugnuts per manufacturer's specification.
