13" wheels with rear disks

hi, recieved my new 13" pro race 1.2's from mac one last week, went to fit them yesterday but the rears wont quite wit, the spring and the handbrake cable touch the rim, its only my a few mm but its enough for it to not turn.

im sure ive heard someone say you can modify the caliper to make it fit? anyone got the solution?

Thanks.

thanks chris.
will give them a call on monday.

i think they are 4x4 discs calipers (they are solid)

the hubs are drum hubs though and i got brackets for the calipers to fit on (uses 3 of the 4 hub > upright bolts, which i then had to spacer the brackets out a bit to ligh up with the disc, im wandering if this is the problem and the caliper is too far under the wheel.

afaik its only normally the handbrake lever that catches but the handbrake spring also catches.

either turn down the od on the discs and move the caliper to suit or use smaller discs, fiesta with a smidgen turned from the inside of the bell will fit, you will still need to move the calipers in a bit.
