Default lightweight abs bracket

i took this off to get it powdercoated, and it pissed me off with how overengineered it is. so i made a replacement

i mean shoot i got fewer same size bolts holding my torque converter in!

Nice! Looks cool and saves weight. What made you want to re-engineer a new piece? Just the fact that the ABS bracket is ugly and heavy??

It was probably over engineered to have a higher probability of keeping your brakes as functional as possible in the event of an accident.

and when i took it out of the car don't you know the abs block was still held in place pretty good just by all the lines going to it etc.

i didnt want to put it back on the car and i didnt want to pay for it to be powdcoated

as an engineer poorly engineer'd stuff really gets under my skin, especially on stuff I own. This I was able to do something about.. so yay.

watch something crazy happen and the block eject through my hood next time i hit the brakes though.
