I am having trouble centering the S1 calipers on the rotors. I am using the original SI axles, with the original distance pieces still in place. I have a set of rebuilt calipers and freshly turned rotors, both from either the SI or SII and have assembled them with the wire wheel hubs from the SII. When I mount the hub and disk assembly, then the calipers, the disk isn’t centered in the caliper, it needs to move inward almost 1/16â€. I used some clay to confirm that the rear bearing is flush to the distance piece, so it can’t move any more inboard, , and the caliper obviously is fixed in position as well. The WSM suggests spacers between the caliper and axle, but that would move the caliper further in the wrong direction. It looks like I need a narrower distance piece to move the hub assembly further inboard, but those aren’t available. Any suggestions? It seems like I’m missing something obvious.
