Thanks, on to the next issue the Baer brakes caliper did not line up at all on either side needed to add 2 .05 spacers to the top and bottom just to get the caliper on the braket and not hit the rotor. Anyone else running into this issue? What size spacers have you guys used to center the caliper?

I could only get to the fronts easily. The LF is around .155 and the RF is around .164. So I wouldn't worry if you are somewhere in that range.

So this is how it looks with the spacers in place, I will clearly need more to even out the sides. but adding more will pull the mounting bolt out even more

thanks, looks like you had to add a few spacers as well to get the bracket where it needed to be. are you about the same distance on the font side of the caliper? Baer is sending me some bigger spacers and also some longer bracket mounting bolts to make sure i have a good connection. It is so nice having someone else using that same parts!!!
