Default Steering problams

I have installed my front alloy kit, and i'm putting my hydrolic brake set up on, and they will not clear the arms, am i missing something? The brake calipers will not fit between the upper and lower a arms when i turn the wheels?

I'm sorry conical spacers? i'm going to take a small notch out of the arms also, there is alot of metal there, so i dont' think it will affect it at all.

i wouldn't do that just buy some spacers, i dont know what they are either but you could find out, that'll be a whole lot better than potentially ruining your arms, and they are some lovely arms at that.

should i use metal or alloy spacers? and are the bolt special? the ones that go through the arms to the uprights? I cut them off when they were to long, now i know why, when i bought the arms, guess he didn't give me spacers.

OK, i got some spacers, small, med, large. Got some new longer screws. (they still were not long enough, so i had to return to the store, and the only ones i found long enough were stainless, huge $) But it works nicely, i'm going to cut the spacers down just a touch and they will be perfect.
Thanks everyone
