Default Disc brake conversion '61

Has anyone successfully installed and ran the disc brake conversion for the '61-'64 cars, either made by Ames or Scarebird? I think they are the same kit. The reason I am asking is because I bought the Scarebird kit and am in the process of putting the discs on. I already emailed Scarebird and am waiting for a response, which he is good about, but the more opinions the better.

My problem is that after I installed the A13 and A2 races into the rotor, packed bearings and put the special spacer onto the spindle and put the rotor on, the rotor makes a slight grinding noise at a certain angle. I have not installed the calipers or pads yet. I noticed the spacer does turn with the rotor and did slip right onto the spindle, I am not sure if this is normal. I certainly do not want to drive the car before addressing this. Thanks.
