    Here are some pix I just took. You can see the caliper is hard agaisnt the inside surface of the rotor, yet is still too far inboard to be able to slide it back over it's mounting bosses on the back of the spindle.
    At this point, I think my solution is to take the caliper mounting brackets and have about a .100 machined off, .050 just to allow it to slide back over it's mounting bosses, and .50 to center the caliper over the rotor.
    Thoughts?

    Did you use toyota tacoma rotors or toyota pickup (pre-1995) rotors. There's like a 1/16" difference in mounting depth of the rotor which is why may not be centered in the caliper.
