Hello guys, first, sorry for double posting.
I've read thraeds about put lwb vitara calipers and disks on samurai and liked to do so by myself.
from what i saw it suppossed to be bolt on except for trimming the dust cover, by not on my car and i wonder why.befori go grinding i want to hear second opinions.

The car 98 coils samurai
front caliper out of lwb 95 vitara.
issues:
1. the caliper mounting area doesn't meet up with the hub surface
2. not exacly and issue but the dust protector doesn't need cutting like the other project i saw here.
Any help be great!

i've added an album wich shows the problems.
hope to get more opinions on how to move forward.

I wouldn't normally recommend it, but in this case I think I would grind the caliper to clear. It will be much easier and quicker than grinding the knuckle, and reversible if you put the standard calipers back on.
