I think I have enough info to start machining my inserts.
I'd also like to thank my wife for going out of town for a few nights so I can do stuff like this
WOW!!!!!
I hope to be able to do 1/4 of what you just did in 10 minutes. I was just happy to extrude an image onto a plane to build a custom intake cover
I do it all day long for components that are far more complex. That insert is pretty dang easy by comparison.
You are doing fantastic work in my eyes, and are looking forward to seeing the inserts for the calipers.
I think its great to think out of the box like this. How much braking improvement are these calipers on the same size cobra rotors though? I think one of the biggest reasons I upgraded to the 13.1" rotors/calipers was the size. So what type of driving dictates these to see a noticeable difference?
See I find it always humbling coming to your threads. Seems we do similar work except you have better software....SolidEdge is less user friendly to me then SolidWorks, Autodesk, and ProE.Whipped this up during lunch in 10 mins.
I did model it up in CAD and it should work fine. Cross section of the spindle on top. Black is the aluminum Caliper body and the insert bushing on the bottom with the offset and m12 threading. As you can see...it aligns nicely.
Now to get 4 made. Might take me a few weeks
Do have access to a 5 axis CNC?
Curious why not use the 12.6 rotors? If the cobra calipers don't grab the full surface area on a 13" rotor, but the ATS do on a 12.6 then you may have more real contact area.
Once you get it all tightened to your satisfaction, how difficult would it be to grind, cut, or chisel, the extra 5mm of pad (if it's still an issue after being all bolted up)?
