[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 1205320, member: 17912"] Has there been any failures or problems with someone taking the original rear brake tension (caliper brace bar mount) and trimming it down to fit with CT mounted? Apologies in advance, but I'm not in a position to read all 192 pages (a large portion of which I've read at one time or another) looking to a reference to a real problem (vs perceived). I know the recommendation is to use a metal bar for brake tension arm (couple posts up with short version on creating your own). However, I'm thinking of mounting my tire today and not in a position to create such a part or order one for delivery today ;^) so I'm likely to order the metal part, but curious is that may be simply excess caution. Anyone aware of someone (yourself or other) who has run their trimmed OEM aluminum bar for 10K+ miles and no signs of stress, fractures, etc? [/QUOTE]
