kcelectronics Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I was having a rare thought and I was wondering if any one has Welded on the Rear Caliper Brackets? Not welding the "Bolt on" brackets but cutting a fitted bracket to suit the strut and welding it on? The only thing I can think of is the possible distortion of the bearing alignment?

jerryb Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Welding onto a casting is not always the strongest bond....but a pro welder Im not! More importantly why are you considering this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy from Oz Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 You would never get it rego'd - nor, it the name of safety, should you be allowed to! Look up the design rules; there can be no welded brake components. See Section 5.2, Modification of Components. Second dot point. http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/bulletin/pdf/NCOP5_Section_LG_Brakes_3Feb2006.pdf Remember Mark Webber in qualifying for the AGP - not a weld failure, but brake failure is serious stuff.
