    Chet, I'd wait and drive it, then decide. I have never needed one. As for torque on the caliper, I dunno but long as it's snug, brake function will not be affected.

        Pg. 50 of Group II/Brakes/Disc Brakes of the '59-'64 Shop Manual, outlines the Installation and Shimming/Adjusting the Calipers, but no mention of any Torque and none in the Torque Specs Chart either, so just snug them up tight, or use the generic Torque Charts for Bolt sizes vs Torque.

        But I just remembered that you have Turner Discs, so nothing in the Book will work.

          Thanks, mine is stock 63 Hawk, i torqued the mount bolts to 55lbs, just cause it felt right...ha, ill re-check after a few runs, may have to go up a bit??? the caliper pistons I torque to 20lbs, same size bolts on my bike brake, so i figure thats safe enough.
