[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 14945969, member: 20202"] Depending on the spacing of the caliper the adapter made from steel may have a thick cross section which might be a bit overkill and heavy. The adapters for my Baer calipers are aluminum if I remember correctly (I double check and confirm) most likely 6061-T6. This guy has the right idea but I think 15" rotors on 18" hoops is a bridge too far. [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1075892-15-quot-6-piston-brembos-build-thread[/url] The 3D printed design verification model is a good idea. Best to leave more material then needed where possible and fine tune the geometry facing-off the mounting points to center the caliper on the rotor. Use a generous radius where possible and avoid sharp edges on your adapters to minimize stress risers. Do some research and surf the web for photos and see what the aftermarket is doing with regard to adapters and models yours after theirs.
