Because a pair of excellent Porsche Cayenne brake calipers fell into my lap. The hard lines are missing off the caliper body. Can the front caliper hard brake line be used off the A4/B5 caliper on the Porsche one? They seem to be similar.... 3/16” , bubble flare, 10-1.0mm.

Well here is what I intend to use...
This will be used with a Porsche Cayenne caliper which seem to be cheaper to get than Boxster or 911 Calipers. The brackets are 5/8" thick 7075 T6 Aluminum. You would need 10G to even crack them...F1 cars do not exceed that much G-force.Attached FilesLast edited by junkeravant; 17 July 2014, 14:10.

I hope that you are not going to leave those screws like shown on pic . You bracket can be as strong as a mountaing, but if you cut off part of the screw head like that you are creating a weak link.
I personally dont like your solution with screw.

That was a preliminary set up to see if....
things line up correctly. If you notice the hub wasn't even attached to anything...duh. As to 6082 T6 ..here in the US that stuff is not suggested. 7075 we have here must be tougher that the stuff you guys got there. Many race teams here swear by it and some of the tuning outfits here use it successfully while 6082 is ok, many here settle for 7075.

Why I'm using 7075.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7075_aluminium_alloy
and why 6082 IS NOT GOOD for what I'm doing...check the UK info.

I take it you haven't read all that second link?
"In general, of the two available alloys, 6082 may be the "default" choice for its lower cost and ease of forming. 7075 will be reserved for those applications in which its greater strength and toughness justify its higher cost, brittleness under extreme stress, and production challenges."
As I said it's working temps you need to be thinking about.

Here's a pic of one of their brackets that seems to have split in half.
Have fun.
