'87 IROC Rear Disc Bracket

I've been all over the place looking for the plate that bolts to the axle tube and holds the rear calipers on an '87 IROC with the stock rear disc brakes. I fon't anyone have any idea where to locate these. I went to replace my rear pads and rotors and found the calipers are not parallel with the rotors after inspecting everything it appears the plate is bent. I know that the car was hit in the rear wheel once before I bought it and I guess I missed this damage. I've had the car for 10 years and never noticed until now.

Thanks

I suggest that members who've upgraded to larger brakes have them lying around their garage (I threw mine away unfortunately). A WTB in our classifieds will probably net you what you need.

Re: '87 IROC Rear Disc Bracket

I hadn't thought of checking to see if there was anyone that pulled them off of their car. I thought I once saw them for sale at one of the site sponsers but oh well. If I hadn't spent my money on suspension upgrades in spring I would just upgrade the brakes now.
