Rear disc swap

i put rear disc on my 68. i bought the a kit. it fits good except the rotors drag the pad, like the pads are too thick. i dont have the brakes on my frame fully done yet. just wondering if this is normal? will they open up when i put the master cylinder on and put fluid in them?

Re: Rear disc swap

are you able to turn the wheel by hand? Discs are designed to drag a bit.

Re: Rear disc swap

If you can turn it by hand, you're probably ok. Like Andy says, they're designed to drag a bit, especially when the brakes aren't bedded in yet.
