Re: D60 Front Brake Upgrade

Parts are looking great.

The shear strength of that 5/16" material with the total surface area you have for the brackets is pretty high.

I doubt you will have any issues with it, but if needed you can put some gussets on it in critical areas and not have to build the whole bracket out of thicker material.
