well i got problem with a cally turbo setup touching the carrier constantly and making it so the wheel cant turn or barely turn and all i have done is fit some new hubs from chris astley so i thought i would try the old brakes they are in fact standard 12v brakes but to me they still dont look right everything is at it would be on the car i know one bolt is loose you can see but the other is tight so it wont make a difference

i really cant get my head round it with this setup it turns without touching but still looks off with the cally turbo it touches non stop and the wheel barely turns

put the disks on something flat and see if they rock.... when you try it you'll get what i mean... could just be the pads are worn un even... maybe sticking caliper pistons?

but the carrier itself shouldnt move with worn pads im not bothered if the discs in the pic are shagged i just wanted to know if other people as well as me think it doesnt look right cause when i put the other cally turbo brakes on it just looks up bothsides with the disc touching the carrier like its further out than in that pic
