Wilwood Spacing Issue

[olliecast]

Morning all,
i`ve just offered up my wilwood calipers on my hub with the disc in situ and it looks like its mounting the caliper ~15mm to far inboard.

These came off a pulsar so they should fit straight on but i just can`t see how.
I rang rally designs an i`ve got the same brackets as they spec and they only do the 1 disc for the 180mm versions.

Has anyone experienced spacing issues with the wilwoods before?

My standard brakes and evo ones fitted fine....
Any ideas?

Cheers,
ollie

have you tired turning the caliper bracket round?

does the caliper have to be split to turn the wilwood brackets around as they don`t bolt on if you get me.

You are using the brakcet for the correct side of the car, right?

i`ll try again, i maybe being very blonde.

mind you, the spacing should be the same each side right?

not sure about the fitting, but can the alloy bracket that bolts on to callipers and hub. not be fitted the wrong way, ie the side thats bolted onto the calliper not be bolted onto the hub, if that makes sense , the set i had bolted straight on .

yep that was wrong. Being a complete tard.

Cheers for the help guys.

Got to space my 15" ssr racing wheels out. Got some 5mm spacers already, would you reccomend longer wheel studs?
