# Mike. Rings got here today. -->

Posted by Jeff92se (92se) on September 30, 2003 at 12:04:50: I was sick all weekend so I took Monday off to fiddle with the bracket. To summarize. 1) Getting the hole size is easy. (use the caliper) 2) Getting the shape of the hub to fit the Maxima side is easy. It's just a gentle curve. 3) Getting the shape of the 300z side bracket is not difficult. 4) Getting the distance inbetween the holes maxima holes to 300z/Cobra bracket holes is difficult. The way the bolts mount to each side is the perfect way to annoy anyone trying to take a decent measurement. I got about 3 wood brackets made but when it was test fit, I didn't get the fitment I wanted. Remember we only about about a 1/4" from the caliper hitting the rotor to the caliper scraping the inside of the wheel. You want the smallest clearance you can get away with ie.. 1/8" so you get the greatest pad enagement, but then again you want some decent clearances so everyone's car can fit these. Also the holes will be 3mm closer together than the pics on tt.net so there's even less material inbetween the holes(not really a big concern but it should be mentioned) I'm sure Matt will say it's not that hard but I'm having a little bit of a hard time. One good thing though. Having the rings will help center the rotor. (so I don't have to center the rotor w/ 2 lugs). I'll keep trying though. Replys: No worries...thank you... dmontzsta (92 SE) 00:22:54 10/01/2003 (0) Thanks for the heads up on the bracket MIKE (93VE) 20:51:18 9/30/2003 (1) Houston, we have a problem...
