Disc not sitting central to wilwood caliper...?
I've got wilwood calipers with cortina uprights, ali hubs and standard discs, just bolted it all up together and the discs don't quite sit
central in the caliper. Nearside is worst, disc sits approx 2,80mm to outside of caliper which means i cant quite get the pad in, offside is only
approx 1,00mm off centre so not too bad. Anybody else found this?
What would cause this (variations in hub/upright maybe..?) and what would be the best way to fix it, machine some off the mounting bracket or
upright...?
cheers.

Both my fronts needed the disc moving about 1.5mm away from the hubs so that they were central in the callipers. Some people suggested washers for
this,but I made a full spacer to fit on the hub between the disc and hub out of some steel sheet offcuts. - seems to work well.

washer(s) between caliper & upright or a shim between disc & hub will get things central.
There's often a little 'fettling' to do to get discs/calipers true.
BTW make sure the mating surfaces are machined & not touching somewhere they shouldn't

We used Hi-Spec calipers and found we had to mill the mounting bracket to get the disc central.
