Thanked 4,999 Times in 3,015 PostsToday was brake bracket making day, I'm happy with progress
First a recap, comparison between 280mm disks and 380mm carbon ceramic disks.
And the brake pads.
The difference between the front and rear calipers.
and the first bracket mocked up, I'll weld and bolt the 10mm steel bracket onto the modified original one.
