I've split 2 of the washers that sit on the mounting bolt either side of the caliper. The ones that that allow the caliper to be tilted from side to side (there's a pair, one concave and the other convex - pretty sure my old v brakes used to have similar fittings). Never done this before, but just fitted a larger rotor and adaptor and "snap" x 2 when I bolted the caliper back on.
Anyone know what they are really called and where I can get a few replacement?
cheers
Did the same on mine, i just put one between bolt and adaptor instead of two. As long as there is two between adaptor and caliper its works ok.
Sorry cant help with where to buy them.
Found em on wiggle, here you go..

@rse, snapped a third, this is really suspicious. A certain amound of over torquing for sure, but never done this before. I've just stacked up a couple of washers in its place, but you loose some of the adjustability and it doesnt really look right.....
thanks seanodav

They come with v brake pads. Get some from your lbs' bin.
