Baer Brake bracket on ridetech spindle

[71RS/SS396]

You can use a "top lock" nut as SlowProgress suggested or no lock nut with red loctite with the shorter bolt. You can get them in flanged or not flanged in various materials and coatings https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/37278

Thanks, on to the next issue the Baer brakes caliper did not line up at all on either side needed to add 2 .05 spacers to the top and bottom just to get the caliper on the braket and not hit the rotor. Anyone else running into this issue? What size spacers have you guys used to center the caliper?

[SlowProgress]

I could only get to the fronts easily. The LF is around .155 and the RF is around .164. So I wouldn't worry if you are somewhere in that range.

So this is how it looks with the spacers in place, I will clearly need more to even out the sides. but adding more will pull the mounting bolt out even more
