I've seen people grind off the logos and bumps to help with rim clearance.

Has anybody tried mounting evo 7/8/9 calipers onto the 86 bracket kit that people make to mount fc/fd? Because the evo 7/8/9 calipers are direct bolt on to the FD's so I'm assuming the mounting points are the same locations.

On the FC Calipers... don't grind off the bumps. There is a fluid passage in there. One of guys that bought my brackets did it and had to find another caliper. The FD calipers shouldn't have any problems.

grinding it off flush should be no problem, it'll look better too...!
