All the internals and links etc are fine everything lines up but my disc brake is off centre by 10mm. I have had this brake on a GP and it was fine but have since sold the GP and the problem is on a Spanish Li. The brake is also very tight to fit. I have searched the forum and this problem has been discussed in 2012 has anybody got a solution to this, if not It will be sold and I will buy a PM one.

i have fit a couple off these discs and on both one spanish and one italion i had to take the nut on the drum side and replace with an origional thinner nut about 3to4 mm difference
Had to do same as garry and replace the wide nut with a standard 'half nut'. Even after this it was a little tight going in forks even with complete refurb (new links springs etc )

I have tried replacing the nut and it goes in easier but it makes the tyre even more off centre. To be honest I would never be happy riding it like this even if it felt ok all I can see is that If I keep it I would have to machine it somehow to move it more to the left.
Sure i read a post some time back where another poster was having the same problem as yourself. Think he rode it as it was and said it didnt cause any issues and even stayed in a straight line when he took his hands off the bars
