Default Need advice on cutting metal

Hello all,

I am in the process of adapting the Kirkham ebrake to my non Kirkham replica.

I currently have a bracket that supports my Wilwood caliper on to my spindle with the manual Wilwood crappy caliper. Rather than cutting my bracket to make it fit, I would like to make a new bracket. By doing this in case something was to go wrong I could always go back to my oringinal setup.


The metal is approximatly 3/8 in. thick. This is not a complex piece to make ecept I dont know what would be the best way to cut the metal because it has a slight curve to it.

What tool other than a plasma cutter would cut such metal.

Also, how thick would the bracket have to be if I used Aluminum.
