LS1 Caliper bracket....

Hi all, im about to fit some ls1 front brakes to my 83 TA. Ive found a picture of the bracket to print off to size and use as a template but its setup for american printer paper and not UK A4 printer paper. Does anybody have a picture of the bracket with dimensions as this one doesnt so I can't adjust it to be right.

Thanks in advance.

This PDF has printer scale lines so you can match up the template...

Thanks for responding. Thats the picture I currently have. Ive tried printing it off at different scales but nothing quite matches the 6" and 8" scales when I measure the printed picture. I guess i'll have to rely on some good old fashioned Maths and work it out after printing.

Thanks again.

I also have the autocad DXF drawing at home for version 1 of that bracket. PM me your e-mail so I can e-mail it to you..
The free version of the DXF viewer is at https://download.cnet.com/AutoDWG-DX...-10690622.html
Then you can chose A4 for the paper size to print so it's scaled to the correct dimensions.

Quick question, if after printing this pdf the lines measure 6 and 8 inches, it’s to scale?
