Hi Guys

So today was a busy day .Installed my adjustable beam
Front disc brakes.
My worst fear came true , wheels touched the brake caliper. Quick run down to the local spare shop and got some universal 5mm spacers and it cleared

The red seats look good with the grey paint.

Yes i did , wheels did knock up on the caliper but a 5mm universal spacer did the trick.

Thanks to Tony qho help me with a flat face brake drum and impressed me with his machine work on drilling and tapping it to 4x100 pcd
