Baer Brake rear standoff question

[Ron West]

I have a DSE rear axle with quadra link. I'm putting on my Baer Track Plus rears but it seems the spacing for the caliper is off.
You can see the gap where the (first thread has started only) to hold the caliper for this pic. If I shim it it makes it further away. I need the bracket to move closer.

What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Can you flip the small bracket on top and reattach on the other side of the lower bracket?

I'm not sure it's supposed to be flipped. It has a cut out that I thought meshed with the axle bracket. Baer's instructions aren't really clear.

Call Baer. I had to add a shim as well in a different place. They gave me the advice over the phone. The only crappy part is waiting till monday to call. It does look like if you shim the bolts at the caliper it will push it farther away, but if you shim the ones at the bearing housing it would pull it in toward center.

Baer helped me out... it was the rotor centering ring. It wasn't needed. I removed it and it fit no prob... thanks!
