On some kits there are spacers to align caliper properly so that the disc is exactly in the middle of the space between pistons.

thats how it should be,dont go spacing incorrect brackets with washers etc on brakes,if it does not fit get the brackets made that do,martin at reyland makes brackets.

14nm
or 10ft/lbs

ok, that's the bell to disc torque
the bracket to hub is as tight as you would be able to do it up, i did it up to just under 60nm

the caliper to bracket's i did up to they were tight, then nipped it up just about 10 degrees
