Can anyone see a problem with using milled down wheel spacer between the hub face and the inside of the brake disc as apposed to in the usual location (fro the face of the brake disc)? Only 3mm thick.
Obv this will move the disc 3mm toward the outer break pad, which although I don't see being an issue on a standard setup, it will definitely not be an issue for me as I am making new caliper brackets for a totally different setup.
The reason I want to do this is because the custom bracket I am making which mounts an independent ebrake spot caliper, does not have quite enough clearance from the inside of the disc. I need to use 10mm thick steel for the bracket however with current clearance I can only fit 7mm with a 2mm clearance. Spacing the disc outward by 3mm will give me the clearance I need.
I cannot see any obvious issues , can anyone else?
Thanks

I'd foresee potential issues seating the disk and / or wheel on the hub's centre bore...

One alternative maybe different disc's with a different offset? Just an idea...
