Got the caliper brackets all done last night. Hand finished, since my machining skills are limited. I almost think they look better for it... not too pretty.

Everything lined up perfectly, calipers are centered on the disc and pads right on the disc edge. One of the calipers had a thicker lug by .025, then my bracket was off .015 causing a misalignment, so I had to machine both down some but that was the only snag I hit.

PS> The brushed look on the aluminum makes it appear more 'race'; no-nonsense, no time for polish, sure ain't painting it, kind of thing. I realllllly like that look.
