The pad overhang was not as bad as I had originally thought.....taking the pads to the bench grinder (recommended by a high performance brake pad engineer), I just need to add a chamfer to the edge of the pad to get rid of the overhang......pretty darn easy once I gave it a shot....

the adapter itself will be pretty easy to make and shouldn't cost me much at all for supplies....

I know have to decide what color to paint the calipers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Mike,
Why didn't you finish the part? Didn't want to write extra lines of code to do the pockets? It wouldn't have taken up too much more machine time when it was already fixtured and located...

-Kevin

I did that part manually on the mill, I'm having problems with the stepper motors stalling every so often while taking cuts, I "think" it's due to me running them at half winding or it's a setup problem with the computer.
