Caliper Alignment on My Swingarm Conversion

[muggzy]

Another question re. converting my stock swingarm to a stocklength Lonestar swingarm with double-row round house style bearing carrier. I got the bearing carrier used and had brand new bearings and seals installed. After hanging the swingarm on the frame and trying to mount the brake caliper, I found that the caliper bracket is quite a bit thinner than the stock bracket. To get the caliper to sit where it belongs, I'm gonna have to fill the gap (see pic). I don't like the idea of stacking washers up. Any suggestions? Has anyone bought a carrier (new) that came with spacers? What brand is it?

either machine a spacer yourself or hit up your local hardware store, they should sell different size spacers.

Ace near me sell them.
