Know Of A Good Machining Shop?

[3Katz]

Ok so I pretty much have the rears sorted with a Brembo setup but am having trouble with the front.

I have a set of Alcon calipers which need mounting brackets to be made and I can get a 343X32mm disk from either Alcon or Brembo but need hats made for them.

I had a guy lined up who reportedly knows his stuff but it's taking too long to get started.

Anyone have good personal experience with getting this stuff done?

So you need personal recommendations, but you don't even tell us where you live?

Specialised Brake & Clutch in Penrith (NSW) do excellent custom brake work. They do plenty of race car stuff; so I'd reckon they'd be a good spot to start.

Fair point I suppose, although I expect and am happy to deal with a business via email, phone and post. Most of my bike stuff is dealt with this way as there's not much up here - unless you know someone in Bundaberg? I'm able to take offset measurements and the like, I'd just prefer to use someone who has a bit of experience here rather than take it into General Engineering and Irrigation . I'm sure for many shops such as the one you have mentioned a job like this would be a walk in the park.

Thanks guys, I'll be getting in touch with both these shops, I'll be sure to mention your name too Joel cheers mate.

Try TBS at Capalaba on Brisbane southside

Tweed Brake Service. All they do is brake machining, reliners and reco cylinders

Ask for Rod...the owner...very helpful with over 30 years experience and employ approx 20+ machinists

They have blank hats in stock along with disks blanks upto 356mm and blank dogbones as well

From memory they make machine custom hats to your specs and add their disk as well for approx $300-350 each...cheap.....DBA equiv is approx $650 each

I think the dogbones are approx $150 pair

on a side note they wil do drive in drive out custom made front brakes, either 4 6 or 8 pot caliper (south african made) up to the 356mm disk fitted with lines etc for $2600

They measure up your wheel clearance etc and make the hats to suit
