Topic: Anyone shim out their second rotor instead of the caliper?

Sweet, I have the lightweight racing ones then

Was at the shop today, and mocked up 2nd the caliper.  Measured the offset and dropped the lower pivot off at the machine shop.  Amount works out to 2.5mm(-), which leaves .050(+) clearance to the fork leg.  If needed I have brass shims that I can use to get back some clearence.  Nice easy solution to the 'long boss' problem.

I wonder how the machine shop is going to hold the part square, to machine it? Looking at mine, I can't figure how to do it properly, with the equipment I have.

My guess would be parells under the opposite face.  As to how they clamp it .

Hold it in a chuck or v-block..clock in the top surface, then clamp it..recheck, ...then cut..
