Hope someone can help, I have to use a 10mm spacer to get clearance between rear wheel and AP caliper, is this normal? Picture below without spacer, you can see the caliper overhangs the wheel mounting face. If this is not normal, any suggestions as to what's wrong or different would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Disc is wrong and so is caliper. Caliper should be AP racing CP3677 and disc should be CC 77183A. Not a lot you can do without replacing these parts as you need to get disc and caliper more in board. Suppose you could fit a spacer between hub and wheel.

I am just fitting mine if you want some photo's email me I bang some over.

Just realised you have no spacer between disc and hub, which confirms disc and caliper are incorrect. Two options, spacers or new discs/calipers

Thanks for that. Checked the part number on the caliper and there are 2, one is a raised (cast) number CP2576, other is etched (post casting) CP3876 CATER. So think thet are probably Caterham calipers, older generation I guess.

No, the numbers I stated are the older version (solid disc), the new and current version use a vented disc.
