Modify M6000 brake caliper?
I though about it long and hard and consulted a friend who works for yeti in manufacturing. Figured there is some margin for manufacturing tolerance and factor of safety.

Filing worked like a charm. Wet sanded and polished the cut afterwards and it looks great. I figured the only real worry at that spot on the caliper is structural support in case of a crash, but its protected behind the seat stay, so a little less is probably not an issue. Besides, this is the kind of material removal that might happen in a crash.

Cleaned it all up with isopropyl alcohol, toothbrush, and compressed air afterwards.






I may put some color match paint on there at some point.

Doing this was ultimately up to me and to the average person I wouldn't recommend this, but I knew I could do it well so I went for it.
