 Re: Braake Caliper Placement
Iain, while its a bit late in the process, the adaptor you have sandwiched between caliper and upright is a possible source of caliper deflection. As the two bolts that attach the adaptor to the upright are on closer centers and offset inboard from the rotor centerline the caliper will tend to deflect inboard @ the top & outboard at the bottom when the brakes are applied resulting in tapered pad wear & a long pedal . A better solution would be to redesign the upright using only the two original caliper bolts to mount directly to the upright, delection would then be minimal due to the larger center distance and elimination of the other two bolts.
The other thing I notice is the large amount of rotor surface @ the ID that may not be in contact with the pad surface & could be removed for weight reduction.
