i don't think 6061 will cut it.
i think i'll use 8mm plate as daim has. will probley be largly the same exept to suit a smaller disk.
I did FEA on a 10mm steel caliper mount. 1000kg car, 50:50 weight split (even when braking) slowing down at 1.5g or something. Deflection was 0.02mm. Could easily make it thinner. Too bad my program doesn't have more materials I could model with.
It has "structural aluminium" but I don't remember if it mentioned what grade it was. This is from like 2 years ago so I'll have to check it again and go looking for more material files so I can model 2024/6061/7075/1020/whatever else that's commonly used.

I can probably make a kit for a smaller diameter rotor for you if you were using the same calipers. i can draw it up on CAD and have it laser cut

ah its cool, i can get brackets watercut up for less than $20.
converted the diff to 4stud tonight too.
made a jig and picked up off of the centre hub and 1 stud
(don't mind those other 4 holes, just made it out of some junker flanges laying around)
threw it in the radial drill
which f series is that out of clay? im interested to know if the rumour is true about there being an extra 20mm of teeth on yr22 axels therefor making it a simple job to shorten the diff?
stroked 2L ca18-ae86 in the build...eta xmas 2012?
That's a g-series isn't it?
Tarago axle has like an inch-30mm of spline. The factory open diff has about an inch or so off memory. A cusco altezza diff however only has like 1/2" to 15mm of spline. Where the two meet and how much you can cut off, I don't know.

yes this is a g series out of a rn25 hilux. no need to shorten as its like 25-30mm shorter than the corolla diff.
if the f series axles are similar design to this then yes you can shroten heaps if you wanted.

With JDM disc's too it appears the hub on the axles have been machined down
MX13 diff has the same centrebore as ae86 JDM disc rear end, 60mm.
