# Ok. I got lucky. My dad has a drill press and a bit that was the exact

I do work at dad's because he has a good bench and a drill press. I removed one of my Cobra rims and turned it up upside down. then put the rotor onto the rim(with the caliper)(be sure to use the ring or line up the lug hole perfect). I then installed extra hub assembly from my parts car(with the centering ring). Buy doing this I could take easy and exact measurements. I could also move the caliper back forth easy to decide on the clearance while seeing if it would hit the inside of the rim. I drilled some holes to fit the wood template onto the caliper(using a hole template) and bolted it onto the caliper(flywheel bolts work great!). Then lined up the caliper like I wanted. Then used a pencil to scribe the holes for the other side. Then drilled two more holes using the same hole template as before. Maxima and 300z spacing is the same as you know. Now that I got the maxima to cobra rotor hole spacing the way I want, I can design the rest of the bracket so there's maxima meat around the drilled holes. : The biggest problem for me was also drilling and spacing the 4 holes correctly. Holes too wide will allow the bracket to flop around, and the spacing of the holes dictate the caliper to rotor clearance. : Fabricating the basic shape of the bracket was pretty straight forward.
