27 forum posts 17 photos	Hi All, Need some advice here. Was going to start cleaning up a motorcycle rear disc on the face plate. When checking the alignment I found the outer face to be 0.13mm (5.1 Thou) out and the inner face to be 0.07mm (2.75 Thou) out. I have cleaned all the mating surfaces on the headstock and the face plate to rule out any dirt causing the misalignment. Should I take a small skim off the face plate to true it up? Any other advice would be welcome. Cheers the Noo John.

27 forum posts 17 photos	Hi Rik, Jason and Nick, Thanks for the reply. I'll get it trued up with a wee skim. I've center punched the mounting flange next to the "0" mark on the headstock so I can re-align the face plate. Many thanks for your help. Cheers the Noo John.
