Nearly there Barry, the two 5mm offset spacers need a couple of 1mm M6 washers added to bring the caliper directly above the rotor

The bigger problem is the two vertical spacers I ordered at 20mm long are too long, the are not allowing the caliper to sit fully over the rotor so I have just ordered a pair of 10mm, another day aint going to make any difference.

Starting to look a little “Heath Robinson” Spitty, hope it stands the stress on those spacers


it’s on the rear Barry much less force than the stock front

Bret, you worry about your psychological state and I will worry about mine :smiley:

The little WOT4 is now free of blue covering and ready for a final cosmetic sanding and to have a new stabilizer wingtip made.

This is the engine that started it all, an Irvine 46

Had a duh brain moment,

got the new 10mm spacers today and something still wasn’t right, when you look at the photo below (which shows the caliper bang on where in needs to be without any vertical spacers) you will notice both caliper adapters have the word “Up” to the front, in the photo a couple of posts up with the 20mm spacers in place, the top adapter has no markings on it so it is the wrong way round, and throwing out the placement of the caliper in relation to the disc, so, no spacers required. Got to set about making the hydraulic Lines now.
