Minimum brake caliper clearance to wheels?

My concern with the model glue would be after it got wet a few times, or when the glue gets old. I have some old models that have been sitting in the basement for years that are now just falling apart at the glued joints, but I don't know how long ago the glue became ineffective.

Well crap.

Well crap.

I suppose the question is going to be if the glue lasts as long as its needed. Those models have been out of sight for more then 10 years, do the caps need to last that long?

I really don't plan on ever buying another new car. I've put 310,000 miles on it and don't see any reason to doubt that it won't last me as long as I need to drive. So yeah, I would like for it to last another 20 years.

If these don't hold, I'm gonna make something along the lines of these with some aluminum sheetmetal and the hydraulic press. Like doing a dimpled hole without the hole. ....and 4 mounting holes.
