you have to machine a bit off the caliper and the forks..........use a dremmel and look on my brake upgrade sticky for pictures

AMCQ46.......you da man! 1st one done and fits 'like a glove' thanks for the input m8. Just 1 thing,
i ground down the caliper only, i did this just in case i ever wanted to fit the origional calipers back on the bike. im gunna show the piece of equipment i used to grind down the caliper as it was like a 'hot knife through butter' (tried the dremmel and it was not so sucsesful) for me. Any way massive thanks for the link

you can change the title of the thread now..........

[AMCQ46]

Glad you are sorted.

I didn't like to take too much off the caliper as that has lots of work to do and didnt fancy getting the walls too thin!, but also wanted the fork to look unmolested from the side view. I just used a small sanding drum on the dremmel

[darrenmartin]

Was it a hot knife?

[VTRDark]

Hot knife, an empty large plastic coke bottle with the bottom cut off, and a half sink full of water works well.

Yes, those jumpers just lead you inevitably to a life of golf.
Sad, but true.

All evil = jelly babies?

Not even Fermat could find a proof to that one.
