Unhappy Missing Japfest becasue of Brake Problems - Help with Spoon Callipers please

Guys,

Car needed new callipers so I thought I would treat myself to some new SPOON ones.
Photos linked below of my mechanic trying to fit them.

(This is a link to my OneDrive)

Firstly - can anyone confirm they are the right ones?
The wheelswdon't fit back on and the brake hoses are at a funny angle.

Help!

Just to cover being able to get to MY OWN Megameet next week I have also just purchased some Refurb Honda Callipers.

S

I believe you're going to need spacers to fit with standard wheels

And does the brake line not just need rotating a little bit?

Looking at the thread linked to above I will need spacers to get them to fit
I have just ordered two refurb units so I can get the car running for Megameet.

I have just sent James@Hendy and e-mail asking him about the spacers.

TBH I would have expected Si to have advised you that you would need the spacers fit the calipers!
Are the wheel studs long enough to handle the spacer?

Yes - I will make sure they come with longer nuts.

I recently bought some of these spacers. Well made! I am getting a little bit of rubbing on big compressions though which I don't know quite what to do about. Might raise the ride a touch and hope that makes the difference.

Thanks.
Just purchased these before seeing your post.
I got the 15mm ones so HOPEFULLY they will be big enough to take my OEM 2008 wheels on my 2002 car.

You will need spacers and to cut/bend the dust shield. Or get non-oem wheels like PF01s.

Are you going to put spacers on the rear also,as may upset understeer/oversteer,
relocation tabs may be needed if so.
Do 08 wheels have a recess ,may need to grind oem studs to clear if not also.
