Porsche brembo caliper brake swap for 473$

Man, that would be wonderful. But I feel like the cost of the material and machine work required would exceed the price of all the parts I have in this swap combined.

While for sure not the most ideal bracket. I’m confident in the strength of the material I used. I’ll be removing and inspecting it semi-regularly to see if there’s any stress cracks developing.

Keep an eye on the edge that was the corner on the angle. Billet isn’t necessary, but the forming process of the angle does make that edge weaker. If I was going to fabricate those I would use two pieces flat steel and weld them together.

Something else to consider, you could run a fillet weld on the inside edge of that bracket. The fillet would add a nice radius for strength, and the heat might remove some stresses from the forming process.
