Its come to light this evening that some types of caliper mounting brackets could be unsafe! the ones in question are the same as attached to my TT and if the majority of the votes say they are NOT safe i will be removing them!!

 

I purchsed the Evo brembo calipers, discs and mounting brackets 3rd hand from a member and had no worries when attaching them to my car, I did ask for a 2nd opinion from my mate in the fabrication trade to see if the were ok, we both said as the bolt is going right through the bracket and into the caliper it could never come off even in the unlikley event of the weld breaking!

 

Please dont think i am trying to defend my self, i need to know if they are safe for me also.

 

I am happy with mine at the moment and i know that a lot of people have these type of brackets attached so can we have a discussion on your views please.

 

Its weird that no one mentioned when I had fitted these brackets they could be unsafe, they left it till I had them for sale?????

 

here are the brackets below and the way they are attached

Daz matey,

Give it 2, 3, 5, 10 years then we can start a thread entitled....."Guess what, My caliper brackets are still in great shape!"

LOL....

Hope so mate, I still have a little doubt in the back of my mind now after all the comments last night, but hopefully if i see you at the Nurburgring we can try and out break each other :punk:

 

cheers for all your help bud

Look I did this over 2 years ago, O.K. I admit I don't slam on that often and I brake very sparingly and mine are fine, in fact they are that fine there rusty. lol

so what is the full conclusion?? The brackets are safe to use but none are getting sold via Daz? If so how can i approach the guy that has made them. As im stuck out here in Germany and haven't a clue who to ask.

Hi Bud, by all means I can put you in contact with my mate who made mine and Alanz`s, but I do really need to stress that they are sold as seen, only for off road use, buy at your own risk , dont use your brakes when they are fitted, for show use only ,ect ,ect

 

If you are really struggling to get them made, the diagram is on the open forum to copy, then Pm me and I will pass my fabricators number to you.

 

Daz.

ok bud. I will contact you tomoz.
