Do you need washers? I bought some used calipers but not sure how many, or if any washers I use. Is it just of case of using them to line up the disc inside the caliper? And also do I need washers for bolting the discs to the hubs?

    No washers on the disc but use one under the head of the bolt on the bracket, unless they are Avids of course

    The alignement cones on V-brake pads are all but identical to the CPS washers and can be had very cheaplly......

    Excellent advice guys. Thanks for all the help, and the photo :D . Mine came with the CPS washers and now I know how they are meant to be fitted. Much appreciated.
