Is 20 thou enough

[jod]

Hi,
Just fitted the cossie upgrade on the front,measured the clearance between the carrier top and the disc.
Measured at 20 thou,is this too close bearing in mind heat expansion?
The original standard measured at 97 Thou.
Any thoughts or ideas?
1.leave well alone and carry on.
2.Modify the carrier to obtain a better clearance?
Everything spins ok at the moment.
cheers

Not sure. But I got the dremmel on the carrier to open up the gap a little

Cant remember the clearances(they was close though)but have had no problems in 2 years,when you tighten the carrier to hub bolts there is a small amount of movement you may just be able to increase the clearance you mention before final tightnening,failing that then as Chimjunkie says besides you would have to remove loads of material to weaken the carrier,Chimjunkie probably only at to remove some of the casting flash anyways.

Thanks for the reply lads,chimjunkie i read one of your posts on this subject,and i must have wandered a little aswell with that drill bit.
That Daddy,thanks for that,you've offered good advice to me before.
I will whip off again and trim and refit.
