have nct ha ha tuning can commencetryed fitting the twins and they would not spin freely so checked where it was rubbing so rounded the corners off to get them to work a good 3 hours work on the 2 calipers to have a nice job taken so long because i wanted to get the curve right like the spoke so it looks like its meant to be therehere u can see where it was catching on mi wheelso i rounded the corner off to suite the spokes of mi wheelsthis is the end resultalso to mention for peeps doing this to i had to grind 1 mil +- of the carrier where it meets my wheel on de 4x100 u can see that on
