# More notes. Ash used 4144 cold rolled steel and his brackets

Posted by Jeff92se (92se) on October 08, 2003 at 01:03:19: In Reply to: I have a bracket made and am going to the machine shop tomorrow but posted by Jeff92se on October 08, 2003 at 00:45:15: have a slightly diff hole to hole spec. Don't know why. : need an opinion on materials. I'm gonna get it 10mm thick but what to use? 316? 304? My brother suggested 4140 or something. Anyway, I'll ask the dude. : Also the bracket fits but I wasn't happy with one of the caliper to rotor dimensions. So I have to ask the machine shop to alter it by 2mm. This BTW will make the top set of holes match the bottom. Everything fits the way it is(inside the wheels etc) but I'm going for more pad engagement. right now the rotor to caliper distance is about 3-4mm. That's the distance I'm shooting for. : : Still have to figure out the bolt grades/lengths/type etc... : I'm also going to ask the machine shop to machine the brake hose fitting bore flat so it will accept the stock style hose fitting/washer. I believe Nissan used a different type of fitting because it was aluminum but as long as you don't screw/unscrew the fitting alot, it should be fine. Replys: I also notice that on Ash's drawing MIKE (93VE) 09:31:23 10/08/2003 (0) Ginn MS uses 4140 on their Mitsu 12.75" conversion n/m Jeff92se (92se) 01:07:40 10/08/2003 (0)
