just realized, I haven't seen any comment on what kinds of aluminium alloy have been used (successfully). 6061? 7075? other? aluminium isn't just aluminium after all...

I tried this design many years ago and found there was a flaw in the design of that adapter ,I just used a piece if 1/4" steel plate and mocked it up with a piece of cardboard then transferred it to the metal then used nuts and bolts and washers to space it out and that solved the problem.
That design works but not 100% practical wish I still had those pics

well I priced a guy out of Canada to laser cut the brackets and rings but he wanted $285 a set out of raw steel... alittle pricey I thought compared to some of the prices on here in the past... ------------------

I now have a set of front adapters cut from steel. Well, they cut the basic shape and centerpunched and I then drilled the holes. Very reasonable price. But I keep hearing bad things about using washers to space the adapter out as well as having oversized holes in the adapter (I have 14mm holes for the upright M12 bolts and 16mm holes for the bracket M14 bolts, while apparently I should have gone with 12mm and 14mm holes respectively).

Has anyone had problems with the adapter not being parallell with the rotor? My adapters aren't perfectly flat, but still not twisted enough to explain the difference I'm seeing. I don't recall seeing anyone mentioning having planed the front of the upright either...

It's not a machined surface... YMMV.
