Garage Takai IPRA AE86

One nice thing about having two cars to work on is that there is never a dull moment when you have nothing to do. So before setting about dismantling my 2JZ i welded up the caliper brackets, and after disassembly i drilled and tapped them. As such i now have a complete brake setup as so:

You can see here that it still uses the stock caliper bracket, with 5mm welded to the back side for spacing, and 3mm to the front for extra tapping depth:

Big thanks goes to Joel (TurboRA28) for his idea of using the stock bracket redrilled to suit.

And finally here it is all together with the RCA as i was still a little concerned that it might foul.

I also welded and gussetted the traction brackets, so they just need to be ground back and they are ready to go too.
Tonight or tomorrow will be on the lathe setting up a bunch of spacer rings for the brake conversions.
