Default Disk Brake Mounting

Hi

I'm trying to mount a Hope XC4 disk brake caliper to a pair of RockShox SID forks. However I'm having problems with alignment of the rotor in the caliper such that the rotor is rubbing on the pads. I read in the instructions that fitting is a trial an error job, whereby you have to fit spacers unitil you get it right. The problem I have is that I need to take material off the mounts in order to shift the caliper in the right direction. I've filed the mounts down a little which has made the situation better but more is required. However I'm not sure I should be filing my forks and don't want to stuff them up completely. Has anyone had experience of this? and whats the best way of solving the problem?

Cheers

Magura makes a milling tool that should be available for better shops to use for you(the tool is $100 or so). In this particular case, it is best left to a trained and equipped eye, since overmilling would certainly be a bad thing but easy to do with normal grinding/filing means.
