The steel for the rear brakes arrived a few weeks ago
I added some welds to the parking brake stoppers
Got all of it fit up to check if it was correct, managed to not break a single tap whilst creating the m10 threads, although the stress in the steel was noticable
Got started on the aluminium dust shields (2mm thick sheet)
These turned out pretty good, just need to make a tool to roll the edge, I have some bearings and 3d printer v-wheels so a solution should be easily made. I'll just have to now make the attachment for the brake shoes and get them sandblasted tonight ready for paint
The front dust shields have also been made to approximate size, I'm just waiting to finish my 3d printer enclosure to be able to create certain parts in abs without warping of the material, to create the original seal surrounding the hub's bearing
