Calipers wont fit

[oohsam]

Ok, so thanks to rustybronco, and nufnuf (steve) I've managed to get the wheel mounted with enough space for each caliper to fit.
rustybronco provided me with some pics of his bike so I could see the profile of the spacers etc.
He worked out that in this schematic



#8 is backwards. I flipped this around, and tried my other spacer with the flange for that side, and low and behold, it was spot on.
I thought I tried this with nufnuf (steve) but I think i had the spacer as per the pic in the schematic, thus pushing the wheel over, ever so slightly.
Now all I need is a nut and pin to hold the axle in, and the right caliper brackets and I should have my front end almost done!

Thanks heaps everyone. yall been awesome.

Having the same problem as oohsam with some 81-83 calipers I'm trying to apply to my 1979 850G. So if anyone still has an extra set of brackets PM me.

Casell98, pop a post in the parts wanted section. I'm sure someone has a spare set.
