It looks to me like the rotor has to come out more not the caliper. As it sits my rotor is hard against the inside pad and caliper surfaces, putting a washer would move it out more, Compounding this instead of spacing it?

Unless his brake mount goes the other way, with the bolts coming from the outside and the bracket mounting on the inside of the hub? But that seems like a pretty odd/terrible way to do it.
Yeah, spacing the caliper is compounding the offset from removing the heat shield.
They do, sits on the inside of your ears and the bolt head is reachable from the outside, would be impossible to get a wrench on it if the bolt head was on the inside. It says DISC on the side facing the disc, and the alcon numbers face up. Caliper wouldn't begin to mount any other direction. Both brackets are identical.
Like you said it's not much, a couple mm. But one tries to fathom why when a rotor hat was clearly designed NOT to accommodate for the e-brake, that they design the rest for the e-brake.....
From what I can tell this is Alcon's kit and Ross sells the pieces. Bracket is Alcon's too. Because race car.
If it needs to be centered and you need the caliper more towards the center of the car the easiest way to achieve this is to machine the required amount off the mating face where the caliper meets the bracket. safer than spacing the disc itself out from the hub.
So. After months of working behind closed doors (to be honest, we drank more beer than doing actual work...) we started the engine for the first time this year.
Since our first and only test day is the 31.10.20, we‘re not in a hurry.
We didn‘t change much during the past weeks.
A few fuel system fittings, fuel line from Dash-6 to Dash-8, a few suspension bolts and bearings, the oil pressure sensor, rearranged a few wires and lines, changed all the fluids and so on.
Just a lof of small stuff.
Yesterday we started the engine to check if everything works, all the fuel lines and fittings are tight and the new sensors are working.
And yes. Everything went absolutely perfect.
Now we‘ll check the suspension setup and than we‘re ready to race.
