Update google doc with reference to front (instead of potentially guessing rear) 986 brake calipers, caliper part numbers (EDIT- they're on page 7), link to whoosh 280mm rear brackets.

A print out that we can use to check wheel fitment that has a scale on it to verify size. I would make one, but haven't purchased calipers or rotors yet, so cannot verify sizes. Something like this. I think I'm right on the line about whether or not my wheels will fit with spacers. Having the easy print out should help be able to quickly check other wheel sizes.

Thanks for the feedback.

I’m working on a template model and I’ve got one that’s representative to within about 2mm based on some back and forth with Konig’s technical support. Their Dekagram CAD model vs my CAD model shows 1mm clearance, my actual on-car measurements show 3mm. Trying to refine it a bit closer as the clearances are quite tight.
