anyone know where to find 1986 rear disk brake caliper mounting brackets for factory style brakes ? new or used . not sure how many years used this set up ? any info would be greatly appreciated thanks !

 

Wecome to TGO. You should find what you need on any 82-88 thirdgen (the switch to PBR's came in 89). Since there's a difference in bolt patterns between 9- and 10- bolt rears, you'll need to determine which you have. The bone yards should be full of them. Or you might consider a post in our classifieds. Another choice is to contact the following sponsor:

thanks for the info. i have the 10 bolt rear . i have checked the local junk yards but have not had any luck yet. i didnt think they would be hard to find but i havent had any luck yet. i checked the above link but didnt see any listed there , however i did see some other parts i might be interested in. so for now i'm still looking so if any one has any or knows who might have any please let me know. thanks

 

There are many members who upgrade their brakes from OE. I'd place an advert in the classifieds. You might e-mail thirdgenranch.

Are you looking for the backing plates for the cast iron calipers? I have a set left over from a brake upgrade, I have the calipers too, but one is shot (piston fully extended and detached) and maybe suitable for a core as their core charge is more than the caliper. Also have the rotors which are almost new, litte surface rust from sitting in the garage.

These are the calipers that mount one on the front side of the axle and one on the rear (both carry the same part number).

 

thats what i'm hunting for al. don't need the calipers . but i'm very interested in the backing plates/mounting brackets what ever you want to call them. i might also be interested in the rotors. let me know if you want to sell them and how much. THANKS !

 

How's $40 plus shipping for rotors and backing plates. I can find rotors new for about $30 each and these are almost new, but will need turned. I have to find a box and see what shipping will be.

 

sounds good ! let me know how to make arrangements

 

PM me your address and I'll get a shipping quote to you. You'll have to wait until next Saturday because Post Office and UPS stores are closed when I get home from work and no way to get to one while at work. I do have a Pay-Pal account if you're comfortable with that.
