Anyone? They're SRAM Guide RE (so bottom end Code calipers).
Seems almost ironic that the US brake manufacturer uses a metric size and the UK / Japanese makes use an Imperial 8" (aka 203mm) but there we go, if I don't want another set of butter SRAM discs, can I get away with a slightly larger disc?
1.5mm spacer under the caliper.
That ^
Washers.
I've heard tale of these almost mythical spacers - anyone know where I could buy them online?
M6 washers!
Get some cnc'd titanium m6 washers, not just any old stamped washers you've got knocking around, they wont be precise and could vary from 1.3 to 1.7 from one side to the other.
Try Raceti from the mythical world of Ebay 🙂
Just some washers. don’t need anything fancy!
yeah..washers.
Or, look harder and you'll find a 203mm spacer somewhere in the garage...

I bought an 8 pack of washers from race ti on ebay in blue for £9, i use them on my calipers, got some M5 reduced od for my stem bolts too, nice quality bit of kit to go with my ti bolts. Black, gold an natural are also available,
If you're in Cardiff at any time, give me a knock at Sunset's old workshop and i'll give you a couple.
I've found that the washers which go between the top of the caliper and bottom the bolt head to be exactly 1.5mm and moving them to under the caliper instead of on top spaced the caliper enough to resolve going from 200 to 203
