Just fitted new Calipers, Everything ok until I get to last turn on Nut to nip up, then hubs stop turning, soon as I loosen off a turn they move again.
What have I done Wrong this time ??

I remember when I bought the bolts there was 2 different sets, I'm sure I posted thread on here about them, will try and find it. first one was wrong thread so got these ones, they go in perfect but like mentioned probably to long. What's the options will washers do ?

Do they have washers? A Manual I have shows spring washers.

If so I would just be inclined to take a file to the end and shorten them its obviously only a very small amount.

Are they new discs? The bolts aren’t just going into some rust build up on the discs somewhere?

I have a 13mm 'star' socket which was made for the job.
It has 12 points instad of 6 or 12 flats, but I can't remember where I got it fron all those years back.
 
Multipoint 1/2 af socket and the same size ring spanner works well. They need tapping on to the bolt head but they have never slipped on me, 13mm has though.
Get quality ones though, mine are both britool.
 
Well this has got my head done in now. The bolts were coming through and catching disc to stop it spinning fix i could see them. Put washers on , not coming through now But now the are catching side of hub, when fully tightened so no further forward. Think I'm Jinksed

Hmmm...might be the wrong ones.

Anything stamped on the reverse face that looks anything like this?

Not saying this the right Caliper for your project, but there are various iterations of Caliper on 110 axles over the years....

Couldn't find any numbers on them, but was thinking they could be wrong ones myself. Mind you they are only catching Very slightly, but then again enough to stop the hub spinning.
