If anybody gets shafted when you buy anchor blocks and they send you the wrong ones you're not sol. I welded to M8 or M10 nuts to the flange area to space the block out to where it would be if you had gotten the right one.

Basically I was sold the one on the left and it needs to be spaced out like the one on the right. As you can see you really only need 1/4" or so. So one nut welded to each "ear" will remedy the problem. I've yet to see any problems from this method. Only other thing might want to consider is grinding off the nub on the front of the wrong block to match the correct one although there it poses no interference I'm aware of during assembly.

well i picked my set up for $20 shipped for the pair plus free welding and free nuts so... vs. $80 + shipping? Concept also has them for about the same but I'm: a cheapass/short on time/sick of nonsense. Besides If i was going to spend some bank on the right parts I could buy some bar stock and turn these things in the shop for $5 a piece.

You could put a couple washers there to fill the gap also

I always include half height anchor bolts because the can be used with both types of hubs, tabs and non tabs simply be adding washers or not.

Type of washers that work Nissan axle washers stack 2 per achor bolt so a total of 4 washers are needed for a pair of ebrakes.

I had the one on the left. Put 2 3/4 spacers behind it on the inside of the heat shield and it works just fine.

Thread pitch for the anchor bolts are m18x1.5.
Got 2 nuts with threadlock similar to the OEM ones from a local store Fell Co. for 5$.
