More calliper work

I had to buy a replacement disc, the original was cracked, luckily honda haven't changed the design for years meaning many bikes share the same disc, so there's plenty of options on ebay.  This is an 08 CBR600RR one.  You can also see the stopper I bolted on to stop the mount rotating forward in use.   I still need to cut off that huge lump of steel used by the original calliper mount.
Virtually finished plate with bolted on spacer and stopper, it's 10mm thick aluminium.  After this pic i decided to mill out 1.5mm for the stopper bolt, just to give a bit more clearance to the disc as per the calliper bolts.
The other side of the plate, I'll move on to something else for now and tidy it up next time I set-up something else for milling.  I've already marked out the areas i will remove for lightening.
