I'd suggest you put some plastacine or glue some cardboard on the original as it is cut out more than it needs to be (ie: too much air between calliper & forkleg. Then use that as a template for cutting out your plate.

Then you can look at where it needs to be milled to bring it back to teh required thickness in as little area as possible.

Then round edges that may chaff brake line.

Disc may be bent as well. prop front up & take off calliper. tape a pointer to the forkleg & check for disc straightness.

Can be straightened if you're lucky. If its coned or kinked not so.

I also noticed it is not at exactly the right radius at the front, the edge of the pads slightly over the edge of the disk, so on the new plate the caliper will end up a bit closer to the mounting point on the leg.
I'll put the dial gauge on it for straightness, though I suspect the plate to be the culprit, no blue spots on the disk from unevenness that I could see.

I think that Brock got a new disc for that Mac from Maidstone took a bit of time trying to find one. Your on the right track tho start again and get it right this time.
