Hello again!,
Just had another thought. You talk about a "lip" on the inside of the bracket.
Could it be as simple as the brackets are handed, i.e. fit particular sides, rather than being universal. Looking at the AP caliper I have, the mounting pads are @5mm off the caliper. If the "lip" was on the outside of the caliper rather than the inside that would help wouldn't it. Did the original brackets have a lip?
Just thinking aloud. Seems strange to machine a bracket with a lip, when it would have been just as easy to face it of square. I can't actually recall seing a bracket where the mounting face isn't flat. So it might be worth looking at that.
