Rear disc brake brackets

Made these at work out of 7075-T6 (real aircraft aluminum). I blueprinted the '81 Maxima brackets.
Found a complete '74 260 for $100. Not good enough to restore to original economically but good enough to build my Skyline Z roadster.

I'd be in the market as well, been having trouble finding any at the wrecking yards -- they just look at me like I'm nuts when I ask. Gary

I've been working on other things but these are actually the prototypes for a CNC milling run. It is a lathe piece and two milled peices welded together and then finish machined. Then I installed stainless steel helicoil thread inserts. I have had many inquireys about these, my goal is to make them affordable to everyone with a first gen Z.

Sounds good, let us know how they're coming. It would be nice to have something custom and for an affordable price. Gary

Soliciting is against the rules of this forum and I respect that. I think it's okay to let you know that they will be sold only on eBay in a few more weeks. If this is not cool, I apoligize.
