Brake Caliper Bracket adaptor - need one built.
Well I have a set of 4-piston Brembo calipers that I want to mount on the front of my Mustang, the thing is that the bolt pattern is different.
So tonight I will attempt to make a mock-up of a caliper bracket adaptor. Once I have a mock up made, is there anyone here that is a really good welder, and has access to some good material to make the actual bracket? Secondly, once I get the Brembos on front, I want to try and mount my 2-piston Cobra front calipers and 13 inch rotors on the rears. This will also need a calipet bracket adaptor, but first things first. |

Hang on Craig, there was a discussion about this on CC.com sometime within the past year. I will see if I can dig it up!

If the discussion on CC is about the Cobra R Brembos though, they are not they same as the ones that I have. I will have to tell you at a later date what / where mine came from |

Re: Brake Caliper Bracket adaptor - need one built.
I was thinking about doing the same thing with Acura TL Brembo 4 piston calipers.
I could get a set of those easy enough I think.

Re: Brake Caliper Bracket adaptor - need one built.
Well after screwing around with this thing for the last 2 hours I threw in the towl. I made a cardboard templete, then an aluminum one, and gave up at this point. I'll work on it again soon.
One thing is for sure, I have way chewed up my front rotors, I never replaced my racing brake pads (Hawk Blues) and have been driving on the street this past year on them. Man I relly need some street pads. Brad, do you know what the bolt spacing is on those? |

The adaptors usually are 1/4" plate with the needed holes drilled, and spacers welded in place, this piece would bolt to the spindle, then the caliper would bolt to this. |

Re: Brake Caliper Bracket adaptor - need one built.
I've made caliper adapters before. I could make some for you.
