garagelu is on a distinguished road
I got the word on Friday that my "garagelu special" adapter brackets were done so I made the trip today to go pick them up.



Here is a closer look at the mounted bracket.



Here you can see the caliper is centered perfectly on the rotors. The original bracket did not center the caliper on the rotor so the bracket thickness had to be changed.



Here is the front view.



Here is the comparison between the original bracket compared to the new one. The machine shop put the bracket through their vibration tumbler to get the metal nice and shiny. They used 6061 aluminum with helicoil in all threads. I am super impressed with the quality and professionalism. You guys have no idea how hard it is to find a shop that does quality work...whether it's machine, welding, repair work, etc.

Having the original 2 piece project mu rotors would have been nice with this purchase but I see this as a huge cost advantage. If anything ever happened to the project mu rotor, you are looking at 1000 for just one complete rotor. There are so many options for evo x rotors at very low cost.
