Hi everyone,

I bought a 32T caliber mount kit from alien drive. Recently when I assembled my board, I found out that the 63/64mm motor is touching the bottom of my board.............
The photo I attach is what it looks like even when a 8mm raiser pad is added.

i am using 44 degree caliber, and i should have used 50 instead. But after calculation, there seems to be only 5mm difference.

I wonder if anyone knows how to solve my situation, and how much space should i keep between the motor and the board.

thank you!!!!
 
Wedge risers (solid ones) should solve this, at least it did when I used them on my board. I'm having the same setup, but a 5060 dual motor Alien config. The 63mm motor and the angle of the trucks add to the problem though...
 
maybe try sanding the boarddown a bit, im sure shavin a CM off in the small section that motor is touching wont effect the overall structural integrity of the board.
