Purchased some for my Corsa B as an upgrade as worked out the same as getting 1.4 performance pads..

When the garage went to fit the disc brake it never fitted right onto the hub (even with the screw in place) they showed me and it looked like it need some kind of inner lining or something to sit properly therefore never put them on as there was like a 3mm gap around the central of the hub, please advise where am i going wrong?

What are the discs off? Mine are a snug fit on the hub off a Cav SRI, i know with V6 brakes there is a spigot ring as they are too big for the hubs, but you can still get them on without.
