I doubt it I built it wrong, unless I put the wrong disk in there, but there was not another disk in the kit. The brass disk is a lot thicker than the depth of the depression in the aluminum part it sits in and there is no circular (or any other shaped) depression in the plastic part that goes on top of it. In THIS VIDEO, (start watching at the 4 minute mark) you can clearly see that this guy covered the brass disk with some sort of carbon fiber looking tape. I don't speak his language, so I don't know if he comments on it or not.

My guess is that you are excluding the disc, if you are getting a flush fit every time.

So I decided to take things apart for measurements and photos.

So, for me, this....


...minus this...



...equals this....


As you can see here, there is no depression for the brass disk.



So what you end up with is this.


As you can see, there is a gap exposing the brass disk. Please point out my mistake if I made one. One mistake I see that I could have made is mistake the brass disk for the "copper base" that the manual calls for.
