Guys, I am pretty sure the bracket is not SP legal.

Quote:
15.6 BRAKES
Vehicles may only exceed the allowances of 13.6 as specified herein.
A. Any brake line, master cylinder, vacuum brake booster, or brake proportioning valve that meets the requirements of 3.3.3.B.12 may be used. This does not allow multiple separate cylinders.
Sounds like you would be OK, if you can change the master, surely you can change brackets to do so and if you can for a different MC, you can add a bracket to the existing one. Alas, SP doesn't work that way. If it doesn't say you can change/add brackets, you can't even do so to install a permitted mod like a different MC.

Look at section E.
Quote:
E. Drum brakes may be replaced with disc brakes. Disc brake rotors for such a conversion must be equal to or greater in diameter than the inside diameter of the standard brake drum. Changes to backing plates/mounting brackets/brake lines to accommodate this change are permitted but may serve no other purpose.
That specifically permits changes to brackets but even restricts their purpose. If this was in the same language was in the master cylinder section, you still could not do it since the bracket serves the additional purpose of adding rigidity.

So I would say you are still out of luck in SP.
