RX7 Front Brake Conversion Day 3

After the first failed attempt, another set of RX7 FD caliper brackets were made. This time 25mm steel plate was chosen as the base. Here is the nearly finished product.

Not as beautiful as AJPS's but goes with much lesser cost also. I guess i should be grateful that Dave took a quite while to reply my email last time.

The bracket does look more convincing this time. Caliper side is approximately 15mm thick while the strut side is 11mm. This would mean the offset between the caliper and strut is 25-11 = 14mm, just 1mm different from my previous measurement. All there's left to do is smooth out the rough edges and we're done.

Here's the bracket installed. Excuse the crappy shot. It was going to rain, hence the low light condition and I was using my old camera phone as my Samsung Galaxy S was left back home in Jakarta.

Also the "holder tab" or whatever the proper name is, was also done. As mentioned before, a cut through the adjustable sleeve was unavoidable. This way, adjusting height should be easier. The down side is that i would lose 5mm less of height adjustability. Pretty sure i won't go that low anyway!

Hopefully i can start making the adjustable links tomorrow. Stay tuned!
