OIlhead259 and Micky: Just went out and held the hugger in place and yes, it did touch just a hair on the caliper where you see a light coloured mark on the caliper in the picture. Never noticed it touching. Just put the bolts in the holes provided and torqued it up properly. Any other marks on the hugger are from when it got jammed. I'm no expert but I think you're onto something Oilhead. Everybody should consider going to look and see if their metal piece of the hugger touches the caliper body. The metal piece is much thinner there than at the back where the bolts go through. Logically, the piece is beefier at the bolts. However, since it tapers where it approaches the carbon fibre and, if it touches the caliper, there could possibly be a problem like I have had. Having a hugger that doesn't touch the caliper in this way would seem to be a good idea. Not an engineer but Oilhead's chamfer idea on the inside if it touches just slightly should be considered. Still waiting to hear back from Julius Ilmberger.
