I wouldn't unless I could get 2.5>3d thread engagement, I made my adaptors out of steel for this reason as the design I ended up with in 6061 would have been close to the same weight as the steel parts I ended up with.

Not to mention anodising makes the part larger in every dimension. They make slightly oversized taps so you don't have to retap after anodising which will remove the anodising in the threads.
Also depends entirely on the anodising done.

Not anything detailed it's just Mk4TT size 5000 and 4000 DBA Rotors and AP 4 piston callipers, I built it many years ago when there was NOTHING available.
I don't think I will have a problem with the threads not being proper size.Poodles;1432839 said:
Anodizing is a process that dyes the aluminum, it is not really just a coating such as a powder coat finish.

Alright I have time on my side, so I may just make an extra bracket and run a stress analysis on it. (gotta love being in a university for engineering with lots of cool gizmos.)
It will change size a few thousandths...ruffly .003" give or take...I've already informed you of this...if that's a big deal who knows right now.
Could always run a thread roll through them this will make them stronger again but personally I'd just coil them with long series coils.
I will run some stress tests next week, I am more worried about the studs strength than anything at this time.
They are .375" in diameter and about 3 inches long made of grade 8 steel, and are what holds the caliper onto the adapter. Then again they should see minimal shearing types of stress once they are torqued down.
I don't want to over think this right now I have a chem test tomorrow that I need to focus on. LOL

I just cleared the pending flame war out of this thread. Back on topic and keep it civil people.

You will be happy to know I am definitely putting coils in the holes.

My piston rings and two arp bolts from Eagle should be here today when I get done with school, tonight I may just have to finish the assembly of the block.
I am an idiot and forgot to bring my oil pump shaft bearings in to school so I may not get the engine 100% together because I need to machine out a tool to install them.
If anyone has precise measurments of the bearings and will share that info so I can machine the tool today still I would be very greatly appreciative, otherwise it will have to wait until monday.

For sure!
It would've been a better burnout if we had gotten the MBC to up the boost...:evil2: Nascar boost tuning FTW!!!
