    Reasonably priced BIG BRAKE alternative that fits in a 15” wheel

    All hand made with simple tools, this was truly a back of a napkin job lol… I’ll post a to scale drawing when I get a chance. Good idea, people can print it off and trace it onto the plate. It’s just regular mild steel 3/8” thick 5x10” pieces. It’s plenty strong and easy to work with, drill & tap

    Not meaning to insult, I’m always looking to help guys out in the game with affordable ideas, I’ve been building cars since the 80’s and it’s getting pretty expensive for a lot of good people to get in the game without overpaying or getting hosed, I’m not looking to sell anything just passing on...

    Reasonably priced BIG BRAKE alternative that fits in a 15” wheel

    Ok, what type of spindle? Disc or drum? And what did you use to mount it? Because looking at that caliper I see a whole host of mounting issues. This isn’t to be questioning what you built, but overly complicated mounting that the average guy can’t fabricate without a machine shop isn’t helpful...

    Reasonably priced BIG BRAKE alternative that fits in a 15” wheel

    How did you mount them and which spindle? I tried multiple integrated calipers and found caliper to spindle interference and offset issues even with the larger rotor. That’s why I went D52, because there’s no integrated hanging bolt mounts.

    Reasonably priced BIG BRAKE alternative that fits in a 15” wheel

    You should be able to reuse your original hardware, but don’t cheap out on bolts if you’re buying, grade 8 or better.. but here’s the finalized design. The bonus of the 3/8 plate is that it provides enough material to drill and tap directly.
