Kelsey Hayes SBP disc brake questions

I respect what you're saying Jim, BUT they wont work the way they are and definitely wont work whether going down a mountain OR a mole hill, so here we are. Yep Jason makes great reproduction bolts as well as other pieces. A "normal" 1/8" flat washer wont take up all the slack, I will just look for a thicker washer to snug it up. It wont snug up as is.
Sorry I didnt realize that diagram was for BUDD brakes. FSM isnt the greatest in the brake dept.
Thanks.
**edit** I just reread your post. I think the reason for the slack(now that u mention it) is maybe the hose brackets? I'll have to find a pic and see where they mount. Bracket and washer would do it I bet!!

You certainly are making a big mountain out of a mole hill.
Those repop caliper mounting bolts that you got from that guy in Canada that sells them, are made correct, and nothing wrong with them.
Install the caliper, hose brackets, to the spindle, and tighten down.
You will find nothing wrong.
And by the way, the factory manual that you show a picture of is for the BUDD disc brake system, which is totally different from the Kelsey Hayes system.
BUDD disc brakes, BENDIX disc brakes, KELSEY HAYES disc brakes, are different from one another, and even though they all are 4 piston calipers, they are all unique to one another.
