Working On Brakes And Motor

Made the bracket for the brake caliper. I think it looks stout. Also cut a brace out of left over 1X3 for the motor. Got cute and drilled a hole for the axle to pass through. Next is the motor plate, I have a thin one but feel a 1/4" will be better.

1/4" angle iron for caliper mount

Bolt on to make service easier

I was thinking of adding a 1X3 from under the motor to the side rail and some gussets in the corners.
