only concern is the welding aspect, i've made my bbk and been looking into making a plate in essence similar that bolts up rather than weld.

As long as the weld has penetrated both parts then it should be as strong enough to take the forces when braking hard.

There can be problems with differing expansion rates of the cast carrier and bracket cracking the welds.

TBH not to mention the impacts and vibrations the hubs take. I think i'd take my chances with the unwelded plates or maybe bolt up then safety weld may be a compromise
i was using the original 280mm t5 calipers and moving further out.
what calipers is this chap using i assume v50 calipers?
i used 336mm xc90 discs with 4 pots brembos, and think they will fit under comets.

I rekon i could improve that bracket by making it bolt on. Bracket would be drawn on cad then laser profiled then machined so it can be bolted on. Me personly i wouldnt weld two different materials togrther with out any spec. For all we know it could crack after welding. Beleve me it happens a lot

Looking at it just in the pic it does look like it could be just bolted.

have emailed a volvo breaker for a price of calipers and discs. i think the way forward here is to see how many people would be intrested in the brackets.
Ive now got some new disc £50 volvo oe and a hub. Just need calipers to make this happen
mmm at last my car needs decent brakes soo bad
