      Ridetech Spindle Machined Wrong?

      Hey guys...its me again with a question. Me and dad were trying to hook up Wilwood brakes to the ridetech spindles and the seal does not really seal on the back side. After looking at the stock disc brake spindle and the ridetech spindle, we have found the problem. If you look at the pictures of the ridetech spindle I've attached, about 1/16" is machined out at an angle where the seal would seat. I put the brakes on the original stock spindle and I could feel it seal when we when to pull them off. Not so with the ridetechs. If the ridetechs were machined on the edge like factory brakes or like they show in this picture, http://www.ridetech.com/images/category/tru-turn-d4.jpg, they would be fine. So is this a machining issue or do I need to try to figure out new seals? Maybe an offset seal of some sorts. Either way, the way they match up now, dirt and water will be able to get in the back side. Thanks guys
