That is a good point, and I was very careful to measure that. Without the spacer, the Milano Brembo's are dead on. The overhang, as I have taken to calling it, looks perfect visually, too. It is a bit of a trick to measure that... I had to devise make-shift feeler gauges for that purpose. OK, OK, I used the long end of allen wrenches to test the distance. If there is a difference, it is much less than 0.5mm.

If they were off, I would have adjusted the height of the mounting "ears" to compensate.

I am interested to see what possibilities pop-up here...
