Wilwood 6 piston caliper to rotor alignment?

[jlwdvm]

I am in the process of mocking up my Wilwood brakes and RideTech Stage 2 front suspension on my 69 Firebird stock sub frame.
I installed the caliper mounting bracket and rotor on the passenger side and torqued everything down. I think I am using the right spacers according to the directions. I tried to slide the brake pads in and I think I have a problem. the inside pad slides in with room to spare, and I can't even start to slide in the outside pad. I am using RideTech spindles along with the rest of their kit. Does the caliper mounting bracket need to be shimmed outward to get even spacing for the brake pads? I called Wilwood yesterday and left a voicemail...no reply yet.83783This is what the brake kit looks like.

Yes, you need to shim the caliper out in order to center it over the rotor. I think Wilwood includes shims to do just that.

Ya there are spacers/shims between the caliper and the bracket, which pulls the caliper inwards, centering over the rotor.

The way the calipers mount to the bracket there is only up and down adjustment to get the pads adjusted over the rotors. The in-out adjustment has to come from moving the caliper mounting bracket in-out I guess.
