Rear brake caliper won’t fit with motor

[Ianb84]

Hi guys, as per the title, the rear hydraulic brake caliper is way out, not even room to fit it to the iso adapter. I have read mechanical disc brakes are thinner and offer more room, has anyone had similar problems and how did u solve without changing frame,
Thanks in advance

If you're doing a conversion, you need to put a 12mm washer on the axle inside the left side drop-out. That's normally enough to line it up perfectly. You always start the axle spacing on the left side to get the disc to line up with the caliper when fitting a new motor. If that not what you doing, you need to explain more. Did you fit the anti-rotation washer inside the drop-out?

Sadly pics won’t upload, I’ve fitted 3 washers internal of the frame and that seems to have solved it. Is that to many washers ? I will be fitting at least 1 torque arm also , possibly 2 if that’s what anyone recommends ,
Thanks again
