It's not that easy to cross thread a bracket either.
Just like any steel bolt going into an aluminum fixture, if you start the first 2-3 rotations by hand, maintain proper torque specifications, and
do not use loctite or let anything else congest the threads, the brackets will last the lifetime of the system.

Brackets range between $150 - $195.
They are aircraft aluminum, machined to exacting tolerances, and laser etched with a part # to identify each item, and a serial # for quality control purposes.

For those who find difficulty in properly aligning the caliper and mounting bolts, we do sell a stainless steel stud set w/ jet nuts. The jet nuts are a one time use item and need to be replace after each removal. We do provide this as a convenience option for the monobloc systems but it was just not justifiable cost wise to include in every application.
