9 bolt brake bracket questions

I am buying a 9 bolt, it has the dust covers for the rear disk brakes but I don't know if it has the caliper brackets. Will the caliper brackets from my current rear (a ten bolt with rear discs from an 82) fit the bw 9 bolt?

I need to install this immediately. I don't have time to buy the le1 brake brackets or anything else.


in summation: Do the rear caliper brackets from an 82 ten bolt fit the axles to an 89 nine bolt?

I hope this isn't confusing.

No, 9-bolt brackets are designed to retain the axle. I'm pretty sure 10-bolt brackets won't work.

So, any suggestions on what I should do.

Should I buy the le1 brackets to hold my calipers.

I think I need to take a look at the 9 bolt again.

Here's what you need on Ebay.

Then get the PBR brake setup for the rear. Otherwise, you'd need to modify some 10 bolt ones or weld them on.

Yeah! I have that part on there. (the one listed on ebay) So I guess that since that option was only availible for 89 and this is an 89 9 bolt, that I need to buy some PBR's.

What is the benefit of the PBR's?? (besides being all shiny and looking bad @ss)

how much are they??
