front disc issue - stabilizer bracket

[AusTex70 77]

Iam having a issue on my OEM front 1970 brakes. 

I did a full brake job, new rotors, calipers, etc. I can move rotate the disc by hand, but as soon as I tighten down the "Stabilizer bracket" , I can't move the rotor, it binds. 

 Kind of hard to explain with out photos. But what Iam calling the stabilizer bracket is the metal shield, that has four bolts on the back of the caliper - and the brake line goes thru the middle. 

The previous owner removed them, but the new brake calipers included them, so I wanted to run them, maybe they are not needed?

Yes, a picture would help.  The 69 Shop Manual disc brake assembly shows a shield a spindle and 3 bolts.  Nothing with 4 bolts?

Solved! The bolts that came with the kit are too long, and hit the back of the disc.

Thanks for the added info.  Always great to hear of a simple fix. Brian
