Default Aerospace front drag kit?

Am I doing something wrong, or did they not send me the right parts? I started puttin 'em on before I went on vacation and am having issues. I cut the ear off that was in the way, put the bracket on the back of the spindle, put the rotors together, put the rotors on, and the caliper sits way too far away from the caliper mounting bracket, the bolts they supplied won't even reach and definately not enough washers to use as spacers. Was it supposed to come with longer bolts and some shims or am I doing something wrong, here's a few pics:









Thanks for any help guys, cuz I gotta get whatever I need sent to the house this week, cuz i'm comin home from vacation next friday and then have a race sunday!

You should have some round aluminum spacers that go in there.

The bolts they gave me were long enough, there was also a pack of 3/8 washers for getting the caliper exactly centered.

Thanks bro, that pic helps a lot!!! I called them today and it sounded like the same guy, yet this time he knew what I was talkin about (probably a diff guy though) and took my name and address to send the bolt/spacer kit too, so they obviously sent the wrong bolt kit!
