I got a used Baer 2-piston PBR kit and am not sure if I am missing any parts or not. I have 4 hubcentric rings(one to go inside each rotor, one behind each rotor?), 2 rotors, 2 caliper brackets, and 2 aluminum hub brackets.

My problem is that with both hubcentric rings installed, and the brackets installed, the rotor will rub on the inside of the caliper bracket. It almost seems like I need a small spacer betwen the hub and bracket to move the caliper bracket. Without the second hubcentric ring behind the rotor, the bracket is way off and I cant even bolt the caliper bracket down with the rotor on.

Here are some pictures. The rotors are torqued down.

If anyone has installed a 2g Baer kit, let me know what I am missing.

My brother had a baer kit and I feel like the bracket looked different then yours (or maybe different bolts). I remember he had a very small thin red ring that went onto the hub to hold the rotor centered. I suppose if you fit a washer between the bracket and knuckle it may space the caliper bracket over.
 
You are missing the washers that are to be installed between the knuckle and adapter.
 
That is what I thought. I will measure it with my micrometer and pic something up from Fastenol tomorrow.

[Update]
Thanks guys. Got some spacers, everything bolted up square :)
