iamkieth, It looks like you might have room to bend the tang of your sliding bridge over into the tangent orientation and then use a hex head bolt to attach it to the bottom side of the bridge. I think I would try something along those lines before messing with cutting/filing wedge shaped spacers to account for the angle miss match. If the sliding bridge won't work the way Im suggesting, perhaps bolt a piece of flat stock to the bridge extending aft and then bolt to the fender to that behind the bridge?
Did you really mean disk brake hardware in your last sentence, or were you thinking of the spherical washers on regular brake pad holders that are used to adjust toe in? In any case those might bear looking into too. On Wednesday, December 30, 2015 at 1:45:49 PM UTC-8, iamkeith wrote: > > Oops.
