I'm also an OEM for Matco. The CTLS model has strut gear like yours. You may have been better off with the right brake (pictured) on the other wheel. You would still have to of had cut the corner at a 45 degree on the bottom back edge just like the CTLS, but the caliper would be in a much better position at 4 o'clock and the brake line and bleeder valve would have been in a more upright position. This would also put them a tad higher so as not to strike a low object. There is also a little different wheel/brake set that the CTLS uses that may have been a bit easier to mount. I have those part numbers if anyone would like them. You also need to go out and burnish the brakes (heat them up). If you don't you sacrifice up to 50% of the stopping power. With the Matco's you should be able to run at WOT and the brakes will hold. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
