Stock '87 disc brake brackets

Some how the bracket that bolts between my axle tube and the caliper is bent causing odd brake pad wear... Things are working now but I was hoping to replace the bracket before state inspection. The car is an '87 IROC with the 10-bolt rear... not the aussie rear. Also if anyone has an idea of a vendor that would sell them I'm all ears.

Thanks

Yes they are the iron ones... They are the "earlier" calipers I know that there was a change after '88 and mine are from '87.

Let me know if it sounds like you have the right parts. Thanks

They are the right ones then as I got a set off a TGO member and then I bought a new rear for the gears and they had a set on there so now I have an extra set. Let me know if you want them for sure as I will have to bring them down from my shop.

Re: Stock '87 disc brake brackets

I'm actually having the same problem, the bracket caused my caliper bolts to go in at a weird angle, and my rear brake makes a clicking noise when i get on it. Now i know what to look for also, thanks!
