Canti mounts - too far apart?

[stevet1]

I'd be wondering why they're that wide.
Are both mounts an equal distance from the middle of the wheel? Chances of a misaligned brake post are slim, chances of two the same on the same fork are astronomical. Which means either they wre designed that way (to accommodate large tyres, or increased mud clearance around the brake) or they are a version designed to fit a specific brake, a magura maybe?

I've got two sets of rc30's, I'll try and measure them both tonight.

I just measured the Lloyd. The bombers are 80mm apart and the rear are a whopping 95mm.

The two spacers I have used behind the pads are 5mm each and as I said this has helped but not quite fixed the problem. I'm not sure I can go thicker on the spacers as there is not much thread left to play with on the brake pad posts. I might give it a go when the pads get thin but it's probably easier to make sure my brake pads are nice and thick.
