Your backing plates must be mounted perpendicular to your spindle, they must not be twisted, they must be well supported, and tight, your life and the lives of those around you on the road depend on their proper installation, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 61 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 61 | I am reassembling only the old parts. That is why I am so amazed. That means that I have to trim the bush / bolt spacer?

Have you counted up all your hardware to make sure you have two sets of everything. You definately should not have to modify anything! Hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 | Looks like it's supposed to have a GAP. | | |
