• Hi there lads,
  
  did a complete rebuild on my Zilla, the only thing which gives me headaches is the little brake stay bracket on the swinger.
  
  Either the hole of the bracket is f´ed up (grew bigger) or the bolt that goes thru it, is a little eaten up / grinded ?
  hence when i hit the rear brake, it clics and clacs on me, since it has a tiny bit of play due to the above described state.
  
  is that a known problem and is there a fix for that ? ah knows that theres a new brake bracket available, but I just dunno if its the bracket or the bolt
  
  any help would be deeply appreciated ...

• The rear brake on my hybrid has always moved a tiny bit because of the bracket.  You should be able to see if the bolt is messed up, if that's the issue.  This probably doesn't help much lol.

• hmm don’t think that it has been grinded all the way down to be honest. I would have noticed.
  
  what happens if I tighten that mofo bolt all ghe way up would that brake off that tap on the swinger ?!?
  
  just asking )

• You're talking about the shoulder screw that holds that brake stay bracket to the swingarm?  If so, I'm sure McMaster Carr will have the needed size.  https://www.mcmaster.com/#shoulder-screws/=1dqc8ds

• Glad you got the help you wanted!  I don’t own a Zilla yet so I can’t give any advice.  Sorry
