Looks like you have the same front brakes I do, but with cross drilled rotors in black (mine are slotted with black calipers only). I found that the pads wind up sitting partially off the outer edge of the rotor when shimmed correctly. I confirmed this with Wilwood, who said this should not be an issue. This appears to result from using a caliper from a smaller rotor on several kits, including this 14" as the largest one.
ONE SHIM:
With one shim, the pads sit correctly on the rotor swept surface, but the caliper is too close to the outer edge of the rotor.
FOUR SHIMS:
With four shims (and you may find that three works for you), the pads hang off the outer edge of the rotor at their center. However, the clearance between the rotor and caliper is now within spec.
These are the same pics Wilwood support looked at and approved with 4 shims.
Thanks for the detailed pics! I would have questioned that when building it for sure. Did you have to shim the mounting bracket more than one to get the caliper to center over the rotor?
