Had a bit of time today so I decided to finish off the conversion...

To position the caliper so that the disc is aligned to the center of the caliper I used bolt spacers, like these:



These spacers work like a champ, they snuggly fit into place and I gotta say they fit in perfectly, perfectly. I used three spacers for each of them. (three spacers made of a thickness of abt 5.5mm)



Tighten everything, everything is solid. I placed the wheel in and.. ...the wheel didnt clear the caliper.
I remembered I bought a set (4) spacers a year ago but didnt use them coz they are 114mm instead of 100mm...obviously they wouldnt fit, soI cut them.

into little pieces...



Not so bad...placed the wheel on. woOOlaaa...perfectly..just clear the caliper.!!
Tested and working.
And here is a video clip showing that the wheel spins freely.
Note: the scrapping sounds is due to the rust formed rubbing against the pad. nothing major, should disappear after a good drive.

and that concludes the "Rear ST205 brake swap".

(Ill get a proper wheel spacer set on eBay but for now its aint too bad)
A pic of whats coming...



edit: added more info.
