I'm bringing this thread back to life. Does anyone know how to get ahold of the guy who was selling the caliper brackets on ebay? I really need a set of the brackets and I don't want to buy them from downeyoffroad if I don't have to because they are $140.

heres a set that uses tacoma calipers instead of gm, apparently you have to mod the axle or turn down the rotor or something, but its a start...

heres the most affordable place that has the caliper mounts. however, these are set up to use tacoma calipers.... a much easier swap im sure.
anyone else done the swap?? anyone have any info on what they used for calipers? (2wd or 4wd) and what rotors are needed??

I'm doing the front brake up grade ,posted on Toyota Mini's ,uses a Wilwood 12.9 rotor,drilled & slotted),(stock is 9.25),Wilwood hat ,& Toyota 4-piston caliper( will use a Willwood caliper later),the bracket is being made by a memeber @ that site($80 shipped)
In regards to rear disk, the Mustang SVO rotor( found drilled /slotted on brakeplanet .com), the main bracket from Skybrake.com($70) for a GM caliper,will make a 2nd bracket that will bolt to the main one & use a Willwood,41mm single piston caliper that also is lever action for a e-brake!
Locar as a e-brake cable!

I believe 82-90 lincoln mk and continental use the same rotors.

On my 88 2wd, I used Ford Mustang SVO rotors,as these fit right on the axle hub,no drilling of anything,same bolt pattern. I got drilled /slotted rotors from brakeplanet.com good prices.The rotor size is 11.32" O.D.& .95" thick. Use longer wheel studs!
Used Caddy calipers has I waned to keep the E-brake ( if state goes to inspections,will have to have), this is a single piston caliper. The off set for the brackets is differant then if you use G.M. rotors!! Made my own brackets!
