Hi Steve, they fit with the aluminium adaptors and some washers to space them out.

your aluiminium spacer has a rather fetching wood grain effect !!

Is it because the radial mount bolts from the caliper interfere with the hub bolts, or is it the bracket will need a radius on it to allow the caliper to sit in deeper? If it's the latter I may be able to help...

Do you mind me asking what you paid for the calipers? As I've got a pair in the garage with pads..
