Default 993 to 993TT Calipers Swap

Swapping my stock '95 993 calipers for a set fo '97 993 TT big reds. I thought is was a simple rotor and caliper swap, but in attempting to install the rear calipers I ran into a problem. The rotor is off center, too close to the inside, and is jitting the center "nub" on the caliper. The mounting bolts are not even tight yet and it looks like the will never be bale to get the ears flush.
A washer or shim shoudl fix the problem, but I wanted to make sure I wasn;t missing something first.

Thanks

They should be a direct bolt on. Be sure you are using the longer bolts for the TT front and rear calipers.

Could you post any pictures of the interference? Are the pad out of the rear calipers while you are trying to fit them?

Thanks Chris.
It appears to be my caliper issue. The ears have about 3/16" of material removed from them on the inside. My guess is someone tried to mount them to an early car or somehting to that effect. I'll machine some spacers and I should be good to go.

No dizzy yet. Playing hookie to get the car ready for paint.

Yup, should be plug & play. Just need the longer bolts. BTDT.

993RS/tt to 993n/a is definitely a bolt off/on

The ears have about 3/16" of material removed from them on the inside
That's definitly the issue

are you using RS or tt rears?

TT rears. I just stacked up some shims and it pulled together perfectly centered.
