I got the Turner brake kit on the hawk just fine on Saturday ( it is
quite easy, just like the instructions say). The bad news came when I
tried putting the 14" Cragar SS's back on ( that's how I got it from JP
- looks cool, wife likes it). They fit with the original stude disk
setup, but are rubbing on the bracket "ear" with the new setup ( on top).

Question to the knowledgable. how much clearance is recommended between
the caliper bracket and wheel? I knocked a little metal off the bracket
ear, so it's not rubbing, but how much margin for thermal expansion,
etc. should I shoot for. I'm not going to put the old setup back (
calipers need re-sleeving), and I don't want to put original wheels and
caps on ( it looks too good with the ss's). Should I grind off more
metal from the ear, or get different wheels? Yes, I'm also in
communication with Jim T.

The only reference I've found is a 3mm clearance. Is that enough?

thx!
