I'm replacing the seals in my Brembos (R65LS) and can't remember where this aluminum spacer goes..... I know one of the mounting bolts (to the fork) goes through it but it isn't clear why it is needed and the diagram is a little vague. I am guessing lower bolt, between head and caliper, but can't figure out what it does. There is one for each caliper.
Thanks!

Oh my ….. I hope your bike hasn’t been apart for 20 1/2 months, waiting for this answer.
Ha. No, thank goodness. BTW, if anyone else is looking, it is just a shouldered stand-off spacer - shoulder goes between the caliper and the fork, two per caliper, to align the caliper with the disk. They come in 5 sizes and mine only had them on the right side. Part #12 in the link Jon sent (thx Jon).
Once you find the correct location, you might consider using LocTite to secure them in the correct position. That way there's no fear of loosing them on the side of the road.
