RE: [ST] RS brake pads, and RS torque specs

[Gaske David G DLVA <GaskeDG@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Call the number on the EBC page. When I was going through the whole bent
rotor thing, I talked directly to the guy at EBC and he said they have not
updated their page in quite a while, did not say why.  So call the EBC
people....  When you find out which ones the RS takes do let me know as I
may be due a pair soon.

    As for the new rotors.  I kept the stock pads in as the new EBC had not
arrived yet.  The braking is much less touchy now.  Just as strong (couldn't
get much stronger) yet much linear in the application, can't wait to see
what it is like with the HH pads from EBC.

    I will get some of the specs tonight and upload/send them in.

i assume the RS and ST take different rear brake pads -- is that right?
i ask because at least one place where i've gone to look up aftermarket
(EBC) pads doesn't list the RS yet -- just the ST.

also, has anyone scanned (or typed in) the values for the tightening
torques for the major chassis components?  i've gleaned several of the
biggies from the instructions that came with various triumph
accessories, but a full list would be nice to have.  i'll get the
service manual eventually, but don't have it yet.
