Does this front rotor to caliper clearance look right?, Seems tight Options

[stugray]

I dont remember the clearance being so close when I took it all apart.

Is this normal?

I can only fit about a .001 feeler between the rotor and the caliper on the outer side.

This is a 71 with what I thought we determined was a late front strut.
When I tried the early rotors, you could not even get close to putting the caliper on.
Now with the "late" rotor, the caliper just barely clears.

I thought maybe the wheel bearing wasnt seated all the way, but I re/over-torqued the nut to see if it needed to pull in any more, but that didnt help.

Stu,

Please post pictures of your calipers.

Front, Rear and Pistons if possible.

I'm still wondering about your inner bearing being correct. SKF is a good brand. The BR8 is a good start but the part numbers usually cross reference to a stock 311 part number:

311 405 625 B should be your inner bearing cross number.

Your outer bearing shows the correct 311 405 645 part number.

The reason I didn't immediately go to the calipers is because I think you would have a much larger fitment problem than what you're seeing.
