Re: Braake Caliper Placement

Jac,
Thanks for your ideas on the caliper mounts, we have tried to make the base of the mount as wide as possible and the upright has a shoulder milled into it to accept the adaptor, both done on a CNC machine so they should be a tight fit, I think the fact that the upright has been designed to be ambidexterous may have driven some of the design compromises, only time will tell. One of the iterations of brake set ups we had on my Cobra generated excessive pad tapering with the resulting "long" pedal. If this occurs again then we may have to go back and remachine as per your recommendations.
