DIY aluminum brake calliper spreader
making brake pad changes easier.
Just used some scraps from the intercooler project and a couple of pipes that just happened to fit one in side the other perfectly.
Getting pretty confident with the aluminum welding

Was out changing pads again tonight, and this thing works really well/is brilliant if I can say so myself. Was so proud, had to bump this thread again!
