You will need to change the shock mount round so it misses the caliper.Be aware that there are early and late amazon calipers with different size mounting holes.Also its best to modify the master cylinder so it has no non return valve in it,otherwise the calipers will bind slightly.(IIRC its just a flat shim washer behind the main seal).Good luck.Dave.
