Re: my 50 build... why not?
Did you get your calipers figured out?
Those are floating calipers, and if I understand your question right they're not supposed to mount flat up against that bracket, they'll actually push away from it when the pedal is applied because it's pulling the opposite pad up against the rotor on the opposite side, at the same time as the piston is pushing on the near side. When I set them up with new pads I generally try to get the caliper about 1/2 way down the floating surface on the mounting pins.
