Pete,
You're correct on the holes so I'm thinking I was flogged a grinding wheel
that was a bit soft. I had to buy a new one to do the last set of brackets I
machined as I had a drill bit wheel in the grinder that wouldn't have done
the job at all.
Has anyone got tips on what grade grinding wheel is best for these brackets
as I have a few more to make up.
regards
Terry

Terry,
Actually, I thought they were pretty soft! Especially for the re-drilling of
the holes.
I really don't reckon the rear brakes do that much on a 510 anyway. I find
that the back tends to lock up very easily if I crank much bias rearward.
The front seems to be where it all matters. It would be interesting to put a
"line lock" in one day and see how it goes with ONLY front brakes!!

Pete,
I don't know whether the steel that the R31 rear bracket are made out is
indicative of the engineering requirements but you would have noticed that
when you grind a pair of them to fit a 1600 the end result is a very 2nd
hand grinding wheel.

Wojee,
I just used "free machining mild steel". Depends on the design of the
bracket though. Mine were just straight, flat pieces about 6" or so long,
about 2" wide and 14mm thick. (sorry about the imperial/metric mix!)

Hi fellas,
Has anyone on the list have any experience with fabricating caliper brakets?
I am interested in what material particularily? One piece? Two piece?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Wojee :O)
