Customised Brake Brackets?

[Kazuo]

How does it looks like?

 

Heard people customise/fabricate it to fit non standard brake calipers onto their vehicle. Especially when there isn't any kit for their vehicle model.

 

Maybe lack of knowledge, it should dangerous and unsafe to me, unless it is just a very simple job.

 

 

Can someone enlighten me? or share your experience?

For me it's not safe, brake is one of the most important parts of the car. Imagine you customized your break but the work is not done perfectly maybe you are prone to any accidents..

[Kazuo]

I believe if it is not any mechnical parts of the brake system, it is still relatively ok?

Without proper design n analysis n precision engrg, better don't try.

Brakets as in dogbone?

Many ppl will forgo it due to

1. Cost, fabricating 1 set is expensive

2. The design n safety aspects is altered

3. The overall effectiveness of the brake system after you make the mods due to customization.

 

A safer bet is to go for the model/brand specific for your ride.

Totally not safe to customize! Use original or use better brake pad.

TS is talking about brake brackets for aftermarket brake kits...not brake pads.

 

No problem customising brake brackets for different cars to fit the brake kit. Have a set of customised brakets for VTTR 6-pot on my previous ride for 3 years with no problems.

 

The most important is tyres not brakes....what good if your brakes damn bite but tyres no traction?

So you using VTTR brake kit which originally not meant for your vehicle?

 

Unfortunately, not all models have brake kit available for them.

Only those common models

Every component plays a part. Thus if not of sound engineering principle, I'd not try it.

Bro forget it...... There are many in here who know nothing about cars but want to act smart.

 

I bet they have never heard of a caliper bracket before.......

Sorry to sound dumb but what r brake brackets?

[5936]

Getting a brake brackets so to fit in a larger rotor?

 

It's very dangerous if not properly engineered both in design and material selectiion.

Such brackets have broken before- casued injury and death.

 

Will fail LTA inspection and

Void insurance claim.
