Jon recently brought a very old thread back from the dead on CC. Despite his original topic name tongue.gif, it's about half brake tech and half a test case for emachineshop.com.

Custom brake bracket

Since I can't use Porsche brakes in my class, the custom machining test case was of greater interest to me. Ergo, I put this in General Discussion instead of Suspension Tech, but either would be appropriate.

A local shop is currently making some parts for me but it was clear they weren't that interested in doing small projects.

That came up in one of the Porsche brake threads, but I'm not sure there was as much info here as there is on that thread (I read it a while ago). I am still trying to decide if I need to try to build a Porsche brake setup or not (just "because"....and I'm running at least one track event this year, probably a few).

If I had the dimensions for that bracket, I could get them reproduced no problem.

A friend of mine owns a machine shop and always does one-off stuff for me at a good price.

EDIT- He could also copy the rotor hub spacer, and redrill the rotors.

What I found interesting is that it's a good benchmark piece for the service - the brackets Jon designed are in the range of size, complexity, finish, and cost for something that I might actually consider as a custom project. The beautiful telescope bracket that someone posted on CC didn't really give me a feel for what a "real world" (racing!) part might cost.

I use precisionbrakescompany.com
they do awsome custom brackets, and all kinds of wilwood kits. Talk to Daryl.
