Thansk for the great tip. I will definitely try that! How come I didn't think of it.

My mind was thinking of going the long stupid way of unbolting the whole thing to take temperature differences.

Funny I can come up with complicated stuff but can't think of an easy solution. I'll see what I can provide you guys after track. It'll be interesting as I'm going to Laguna Seca, I heard it's hard on the brakes.

Take the brake shield off for measurement....be really careful here because a 3" diameter hose flange gets really close to the Sensor. So do fit check before cutting... Start Dremeling away.... File down the sharp edges.... Then trace & transfer the lines & rivoting thru holes to the other brake dust shield... Rivot it down.... Spray Paint it flat black.... Mount it back on....
