anyone?

do the spacers go on the inside or the out side of the caliper?
they only seem to go on the inside but if i do that then it fouls on the disc!
and the bolts seem to be to long?

any help appreciated :)

thanks

Mine went between the hub and the caliper, can't see any other way it could go. Have you rang kad? Really helpful when I wasn't sure about fitting mine

I think some pics might be in order here. Spacers will only be between the calipers and hubs.

iv had another look and basicley it looks like it will fit fine without the spacers.

the only problem with that is the bolts are too long, but i suppose i can always use standard bolts.

i just find it strange that the fitting kit KAD supply does not fit my mini!?

Are you using mini drive flanges? If you have metro ones if affects the position of the caliper in relation to the disk.

these are what im using

Wrong ones for mini calipers I think. The position of the disk relative to the hub is different on metros. I had metro 4 pots on the shell I started with and bought new alloy mini calipers and hubs, ended up having to buy mini flanges too to make it fit.

bugger

they look like they will fit fine without the spacers, just need shorter bolts.

i will get a pic up tomorrow.
