Where can I get the caliper brackets?
Skybrake.com has no listing
Downeyofforad.com is out of business
Any ideas?
Thanks

Called ruffstuff today
they dont make ones for the GM calipers
The brackets they make use tacoma calipers and stock front rotors
The guy on the phone said i can use my stock front calipers and rotors
That would be awsome cause i dont need them anymore
Now I just need to find drilled and slotted stock rotors

Also changed the booster to a duel diaphragm & the master to a 1" unit,& will need a adjustable porporationing valve.


What master did you use that is 1" ?
Does it bolt up to the stock booster?
Where did you get those rotors?
They are Mustang SVO front rotors?
What Calipers are you using?
I dont need Ebrake
Thanks in advance

I think I found what I need
check this out
http://www.tsmmfg.com/2494.htm
These brackets use either the monte carlo caliper (no ebrake) or the eldorado caliper (with ebrake)

My only problem is they list these brackets for a 4wd truck only
I am assuming a I can use these brackets as long as my axle spacing is the same as the 4wd which is 3 7/16 square bolt hole to bolt hole. does anyone know if the 2wd axle measurements are the same?
Last question would be on the rotor they list use of a 11 9/16 GM six lug rotor which once again you only fit a 4wd truck
If the mustang rotor measures the same diameter or smaller it should work

Any input guys?
