> O.K., I give up. Why bother with caliper shims?
Because the caliper may not fit on the car without them.
I have a very early TR4. With fresh pads, the caliper will not bolt up solid
to the bracket. It needs to be shimmed to center the caliper over the disk.
I understand why you may not have experienced this. I had a bunch of
Triumph-club guys in my shop and none of them had ever seen caliper shims
before.
