The starting point
The client wanted to fit ApRacing brake calipers to his rally car. Between the caliper and its bracket, spacers were needed to position the caliper exactly relative to the disc. No such spacers existed for this setup.
The approach
- Survey : the dimensions of the bracket and caliper, and the disc position.
- Design : custom-designed spacers to centre the caliper on the disc.
- Verification : positioning check before manufacturing.
- Manufacturing : machining of the spacers.
The result
Spacers made for this exact setup. The client left a Google review:
“I had custom spacers developed and machined to fit ApRacing calipers on a rally car.” (translated from French)
