Can you get the grinder out of the brake caliper?

Haha. I'm no metallurgist, but it looks okay-ish to me.

I know a few people have had to give the brake calipers a quick lick with the grinder to avoid running spacers...

If i tried to AVOID running spacers there wouldn't be much caliper left...

bit of both maybe

Before adjustment:
5+3mm slip-on spacers (with longer bolts obviously)?

Just a bit.
Did a bunch of stuff today. While I was test fitting one of the rims my old man came out, looked at the car front-on and saw the poke and just goes "nope, not gonna work" shaking his head.
Made test-spacers out of wood, 9mm to be exact. Probably gave me 3 or 4mm of clearance between the caliper and the wheel.
Also made a new brake light switch. It looks dodgy but I assure you, I could have done it a lot worse. Need to do it again with a welder though.
And to whore my nice carpet:

Funny enough i did mine the same
