so a little update on the brakes..
this piece of metal......
now looks like this.....
and holds this on....
This is what it looks like without the rotor.
Got the bracket made for the other side so all i have to do is put that side together and plumb it all in and should be pretty much good to go!!..So glad that that part is almost over. Had to make like five brackets before i got it just right. I should mention to that in the last picture i welded nuts(not welded in that pic) on the back of the bracket to hold the caliper bracket. Anyone see something i missed?...Ive never done this before so if you see something..speak up!!!
