    Something like these? (from Apikol):

      I was meaning moving the caliper away from the hub radially but that would of course work to space it axially although in that instance a large washer would work fine as Jonas showed above. You want to use a spacer with surface area as big as the mounting surface area for stability

        So same idea, just in the other direction.

            I was the one who wrote the article, in 2004, the OP linked to. Being a backyard mechanic, I bent the ends of the spring up over the rotor to increase the distance needed to clear the rotor. I know tacky. But 30,000 miles and 12 or so track events, I have never had a problem.
