Porsche brembo caliper brake swap for 473$

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.

Thanks for looking out and the ideas! In the upcoming months I’ll be keeping an inspection routine. I like the fillet weld idea! I unfortunately don’t have a welder though. If I did I would have added at least gussets for more peace of mind.

With saying that, I am still confident enough in the material as is to drive daily and ride with my loved ones in the car and feel safe. I’m also confident in my inspection ability, which should catch any possible stress fractures before it propagates enough to become a safety hazard. In the future I would like to add more strength to the bracket.
