V-brake mounting caps

thingiverse

After swapping out my bike's V-brakes for hydraulic brakes, the former mounting points quickly accumulated dirt and debris that could become a problem if I wanted to go back to V-brakes later. To address this issue, I rapidly designed two-part caps: one part is a plate that covers the spring mounting hole, while the second part is a screw that seals the brake mounting thread and keeps the plate securely in place. Rapid prototyping with a 0.2mm slice proved effective in meeting my needs.
