RX-7 4 piston caliper adapting bracket

[1991 318is]

a shop would have to do this, as you need a level surface on the rotor for obvious reasons.

I am not a machinist but the race team I used to work with has a lathe that is older than dirt and cost them $500. I chucked up the rotors and did two of them in about ten minutes and I only know a little from seeing other people do it. Go to a shop (don't call) and take the rotors with you. Tell them you want the hole to be 1-1.5 mm larger (while pointing to it) and mention that you're in no hurry for them. Check out hot rod /engine builders, and truck/heavy equipment repair shops.

what are you people making a big deal out of this! All this guy is doing is trying to make and sell the bracket. this brake set up has been done by lots of people. id pay 70$ for this bracket. things like master cylinder and everything else.... thats up to the consumer to figure out not kowalski. All he is trying to sell is the bracket.. not the recipe for this set up.... PEOPLE DO SOME SEARCHING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS TAKES! Im not a rocket scientist but obviously when you mod anything or try making it better you have to search!

for those of you interested the rotors have been machined, and i'm picking them up tomorrow. I've got the brackets and the calipers all sitting here, so assuming all goes well with the rotors, and it doesn't snow again... i'll be test fitting them this weekend when finals are over.

Making another bracket with some modifications.

how did it turn out?

[moatilliatta]

ive thought about trying this out on my ix. but theres a tight between the caliper and wheel already.

[kowalski]

the spacing is a bit off for the caliper so i have to change the bracket a bit. right now were in the process of moving the machines to a new location so it will be a little while before i can make another one. (moving them from the old shop, 2 hours away, to the new shop 15 min away!:))

[e30polak]

any news on these bro? really interested in buying a pair of brackets from u when things r all figured out

[kowalski]

yeah. these would have been done except my brother went to mexico for 2 weeks and we ran into some troubles moving, such as one of the fire sprinklers burst and wrecked all the drywall we put up... so school is back in full swing now and I wont have time to finish these until say summer time. They might be done before then as i do have a 1 week break in Feb. but no promises.

bump :)

Any movement on this kowalski?

[kowalski]

yeah, they're done. the wheels that fit them are arriving later this week. the wheels that fit them are arriving this week, so i just have to do some fender work and such to get final pictures. I'd like to roll on them for a while to make sure everythings all good before offering the brackets for sale though.
