    Default grinding letters off rx7 calipers

    apparently mazda designed one of the letters to flow brake fluid or something? is this true, only heard that on here, need to grind these letters off but don't won't to fuck the calipers

    I did it to my FC calipers with a die grinder, didn't see any fluid and it was solid metal the whole way down on every letter, seems like it can't be true there's not much to the letters.

    Yep it's definitely the lump, not the letters

    Later model calipers just have a raised arch rather than a lump. Dont grind through that either.
