Assembly time...check the allignment of the caliper.check how many washer should go in..

this is the most important part of the conversion,allignment of caliper to the disc, note that the rotor disc and the left brake pad should come in contact lightly with each other...

In this case ,I'll be using the stock spacer,1pc. flat washer.and the spacer which was previouslly cutted from the bracket,

with this type of flange there's no need to cut or grind the back portion of the single piston caliper because the flange is thick enough to ensure that there's clearance between the mags hub and the caliper...
