Hi

I'm in the middle of making the front wing stays to the book plans, and all seemed OK until I fitted the brake caliper. The stay runs right across the back of the caliper and I don't think there's enough clearance:

Has anyone else had the same problem or have I just made it wrong?

I had to notch my tube local to where the hose goes into the caliper. I didn't make mine, got em from Saturn Sports Cars. But I assume they follow the book?

Problem solved - I remade them with a kink in the rear support so the tube goes under the bulge in the caliper then up to the mounting point on the wing.

I think I may have found the cause too - it turns out I've the larger front disks (~280mm), not the ones I thought I had so the caliper position/size may be slightly different.
