Calliper mount Mk2

My first attempt didn't look to good so I've had another go. The new template will hopefully be a bit kinder on the eye as well as working efficiently. First job... Glue the paper template onto MDF.

Next cut it out and drill for spindle.

Comparison with the first attempt shows a more appealing look.

... And on the bike things don't look to bad either.

Next stage is to cut it out of steel which will need a kink added to get over the swing arm. Once I've cut it out I'll think about cutting out some of the mass.

More to follow...
