Smart man. Good job. Can't wait to see it.

I hate to tell you this, but I don't think you left enough room for the brake bar.
Why did you go ahead and underbrace it for? I admit, the underbracing looks better than with nothing at all on there

Maybe you can make up a tube with a heim joint on each end that will bolt directly to the underbracing, like Macintosh used to do
I have few ideas up my sleeve. I'll keep ya'll posted on what I do with it. Like I said, its just a brace to keep the brake from moving since the pivot is on the axle bolt. I'm a pretty smart cookie though and will keep updating till my fingers fall off

My underbracing appears to be about 2" lower than yours at it's lowest point. Mine is also supported in the middle where the lowest point is located, where yours does not appear to have that supported. I don't believe that will be a problem though. Since your arm is still stock length, I would just use some aluminum flat bar about 1/8" thick and 1 inch wide then mount it on the outside of the brake caliper attaching point then slightly give it a bend somewhere near the halfway point and mount the other end of the bar on the inside of the original mount. Basically will look like a long Z shape like the stock bar. Use a short bolt with nut and have it attached from the inside. With this flat bar you can round off the ends for a clean look, polish it up easily and/or make some holes in it to give it some pizzaz!! All it's doing is keeping the brake mount from moving right? No real force there.
Here are some pics of the same arm from Spencercycle that I am using:
Exactly like mine.
3-9 adjustable but pretty much the same

Only the force that is being transmitted to the wheel to attempt to stop it from rolling!

Thats what I did with my extensions. I was told by supllier since the supplied brake bar is not long enough was to cut and drill a new hole. I also bent the bar offset as so not to put caliper in a bind which initially i did trying to use stock bar. email me and i can send pics. extended mine like 8 inches overall. email me at oneclassic_70@yahoo.com as I dont get on her often enough..
how does one lose this new recruit status? been on the site for 2 yrs now.. think im past the greenhorn status..lol
