Im fitting some Brembos to my car and need some caliper mounts manufactured. Does anyone know what material is best for this? Ive seen 6061 T6/7075 T6/HTS steel mentioned but noone mentions a grade of HTS.

Can anyine confirm a grade of material for me please?

Cheers

6082-T6 (HE30) grade Aluminium.

T6 means its 'heat-somethinged'.

Were going with 7075 T6, its stronger than the 6082 T6. T6 is solution treated and artificialy aged.
