Ok reinstalled my front wheel ('98 cast wheels) and now noticed about a 1/2" gap between the right side of the hub and the right fork lower. The left side spacer sits flush between the hub and left lower. I've read that a small amount of space between the external spacer and the right side lower is normal, but is 1/2" normal? The external spacer I used fit right into the hub and only protrudes out of the hub about 1/16". Pics below - what gives? I should note - I mocked up the caliper and it appears to fit correctly with the current spacing on the left side.
I put a drill bit in the hole when torquing everything down, but the hole crept in maybe 1/32" into the slider - almost flush but not. Is that what you mean?
