[QUOTE="Tob, post: 12919078, member: 83412"] Ivan, referring back to this shot... [ATTACH=full]447609[/ATTACH] ...I suppose if were to substitute the factory caliper bolts for exact length bolts, you could probably get by. Except they'd need to be a hair short and factoring in the bolt taper at the start of the threads, you'd be giving up some useable thread - probably not a good thing. A slightly larger diameter rotor ring would allow moving the adapter bracket bolt hole centerlines to be placed further apart as well. That would mean a slightly 'taller' adapter bracket. Problem with that (WAG here) is that you'd probably be looking at a non-standard ring [I]$ize[/I]. I had no qualms whatsoever in removing the minimum amount of material necessary for clearance in order to use this kit. Ron, I have one of those cubes in a drawer somewhere. I haven't been able to find it since I put it there (where ever 'there' is). Here's a shot of the aforementioned tool in action (I made the caliper a sexy pink hue just to catch your eye).
