Will the rotor turn? That gap will disappear as soon as you bleed the brakes.

It doesn't look like that's a floating caliper; it looks like it's hard mounted to the bracket.Will the rotor turn? That gap will disappear as soon as you bleed the brakes.
I agree, however without better pictures it's difficult to get an accurate understanding...It doesn't look like that's a floating caliper; it looks like it's hard mounted to the bracket.
A four piston caliper is not a floating caliper. Because it is not a floating caliper you can't just bleed the brakes. If you do, as the brake pads wear the inner caliper pistons will over extend and possibly leak. I agree with biddle that you should contact the seller of the part.It doesn't look like that's a floating caliper; it looks like it's hard mounted to the bracket.
What kit is this? Does it use the Mustang calipers? You could possibly shave some off of the mounting bosses. Thanks!Bought and installed this disc brake conversion kit DBC5557T-14. All went well but rotor is not centered between pads with pistons fully retracted and on one side is tight against the rotor. Can’t be shimmed as this would pull the tight pad even tighter to the rotor. See pics. Any ideas?
