    Yes Shane, You are correct.

    You have to take at least 1mm off each side if you want to use the 323 discs....

    But I still think the issue is with the bracket not being correctly positioned to have the disc centered properly....

    I have not had any issue with my brakes using the Bambridge Brackets.... (other than me warping the disc's) - but thats another story...

      Quick rub of an angle grinder before they go back on to be safe.

        I took quite a bit off the pins when I first fitted them but I have now taken even more off so they definitely won't touch the disc. There's still plenty to hold the pads securely though.

        Rob, I work for AP Racing so there was plenty of advice there. They didn't take long but you need the right tools and make sure you soak the new seals in kluber fluid or similar conditioning fluid beforehand.
        Unfortunately this was a one off as normally we wouldn't rebuild a caliper that wasn't our own.

        I'll be fitting these tomorrow so will check to see how square everything is then.
