Yes, I rechecked this morning, and the alignment is correct. So I don't 
really understand why I should be having this problem. My fuselage is one of the

batch in which the metal reinforcement insert for the bottom tube of the landing

frame was in the wrong place, so my theory is that the guys making the 
fuselage were having an off day and got the dimensions of the tunnel slightly 
wrong

as well.

Fortunateluy there is a solution: a bulge housing for the main brake 
cylinder, and turning the brake caliper by 90 degrees.
