I recently bought some dia compe 880 brakes off the bay for my burner mk2 but im having trobble fitting them to the forks

, i've taken a couple of pics so you can see the problem

theres like a lip sort of thing which is stoping it from completely goin through the hole in the forks, which means i cant put the bolt on

is there a way around this problem or have a wasted my money?

the centering jobbies are missing

I've had lots of pairs of FS880 brakes and none of them had centering hardware. I would throw the spindle that came with them and use a standard one.

The hole in the curved washer is shaped to fit over the flat sides on the centreing spindle ... you could either drill a larger hole through it or file a couple of flats instead

That has the wrong spindle in it there pal. The spindle fitted is off an mx1000. I would see you local bike shop and see if they can help with a replacement or put something in the wanted section here and swap it out
