HELP! While doing a rx7 brake convertion I was taking metal off the caliper so it would fit under the wheel, and I took a little too much and now have a 3-4mm hole on the outer face of the caliper. Though Im sure I know what I'm going to hear does anyone know anything that could fix this?
Many thank for quick replys!

Could be worse, imagine if you'd left 0.05mm of material there and it had burst under braking - look on the bright side!

It could possibly be tig welded, but would need to be someone really competent to know what they were looking at.

Thanks, I managed to find a rx7 breaker near me with a caliper for £40 quid. What are the odds!
