What brake setup do you have? Braided lines I assume.

welded something together....

Very simpel design. I had a adjustable leg of a shelving unit laying around so used this to sart with.
Took a few metal bits and searched for empty bolt holes.

The steel is very hard so it took a bit of effort to bend it around the suspention turret.
welded it together and made an extra support in the corner.

Only thing is its not completely centered on the brake cylinder as it deformed during the welding.. but it is stong and functional.
Painted and hanging out to dry so I will fit it tomorrow.

I think we need someone to make a good one of these for a 4g so that they could get a group buy sorted, id say there was the demand for it - @njord could you fabricate something and then have it replicated with pre-paid orders?
