fitting an AD brake plate

okay, I can actually manage this, but there's an option here I feel.

the plate comes with curved washers the same as a caliper brake does to go around the forks, however would I be better off binning the front one and bolting the plate tight up against the forks then tie wrapping it in place?

the curved washer obviously give a gap between the forks and the plate.

TwoBobRob:
Yeah mate, fix that bad boy as tight as is possible.  Big fat cable ties or jubilee clips around the fork legs too   :)

JT I run a brake plate and left the front curved washer off for this  very reason, However on mine the centre bolt is slightly thicker than a standard centre bolt meaning that when it is tightened there is no need for tie wrapping as it is very tight in the forks and doesn't move and there is no flex either.  :daumenhoch:

my cable ties are big and strong, the curved washer is history.

thanks Rob & oldschoolrider.
