I would drop the .55 holes to .531, that's the standard clearance hole for a 1/2" bolt at my company.
Yeah I am not a GD&T expert unfortunately. Let me know what you come up with once you are able to compare to your originals. I definitely appreciate any redlines you send my way.

No worries. GD&T has been one of my biggest struggles as a Design Engineer. I did however just finish a training course on the subject.

I didn't think the guy understood, and you are a guy that knows good stuff!
The only thing is there are many small spindle 1968s, that would need the early version!

You don't want the holes sloppy big, as the bracket might from pressure slide! The part is meant to eliminate flexing forces!And being new, unlike me! You could probably post up your email for talking, as you haven't upset CF members in mass like I have done! I did a New Years resolution for 2018, to try to be nice, but my damn smile function isn't working!

Any update with these brackets ... I wouldn't mind a little aluminum bling or a little overkill when I do my brake overhaul.
