Brake calliper trim

On the quest to remove sharp edges; The front brake callipers have a couple of sharp corners where the brake line screws in & the nut on the line itself is contactable with a 100mm sphere (IVA Exterior projections section 16) and fall outside the wishbone exempt area (same section).

I recall reading on a forum someone getting picked up on this too.

I decided the easiest way to handle these was light dremel to round off the corners of the calliper casting & some rubber tape secured around the nuts.

Before:
After:

(Ditto on the offside)

The inboard end is fine (I think) since the nut is against the side of the car a 100mm sphere would not contact it - I'll take some more rubber tape to the inspection just in case!
