are you sure they are ds 2000, and not 2500?(never heard of ds 2000, I may be wrong though) the 2500 have to be filed down top and bottom in order to move freely in the carrier. about 1 mm of clearance on each side you file will be ok. get rid of the metal shims. word is they catch dirt and debris
when I fitted mine they went in the carrier but had no play, even with the shims out, so definitely need a bit of file
discs easy to fit, just 2 bolts holding them to the hub. careful when removing, they might be rusty and snap, wd40 on them before just to be on the safe side

no defo ds 2000 got them from ebay think they are a older veirson of the ds2500 must be old stock or something.....so you say at least 1mm at top and bottom should do?

1-1,5 mm max should do
