What I have and do know is a stock spindle - disc brake conversion that utilizes a 7" inch (caliper holes - center to center) caliper bracket that needs to be replaced on the right side.

Does anyone know where to source this style bracket? Thanks for your help.

Sounds like the brackets that we have used for years. What calaiper does it use the bigger ones like a 70 chevelle or the smaller ones like the late 70's mubuil Have a pair at the shop will check sat.

The calipers are the larger ones with 7" spacing between bolt holes and I believe it utilizes S10 calipers. Let me know if you have the larger bracket. Dean 214 986-8258

Dean: I checked the spacing on my caliper brackets, and it is the 7 inch dimension. My car uses the '70 Chevelle, Camaro, Monte Carlo calipers. Larry

Kenneth - thanks for looking for me. I became an expert in 55-57 disc brakes and which supplies have what bracket. Many different combos out there.

I have ordered the www.ssbrakes.com bracket as they were the only ones which would sell only 1 instead of a pair. I have verified the bracket is the same as what it replaces..

I really do appreciate you checking. Dean
