Where to get brackets to upgrade rotor size.

Does anyone know where I can purchase brackets to relocate the caliper for 13"+ rotors? Just like Guldstrand sells the bracket to move the caliper mounting point on the spindle when performing the 12" 1LE conversion.
Thanks

Baer brakes. Can your wheels handle it? They supply a template to determine if you have a clearance problem or not. A couple of local club members have recently doen the conversion. Good luck, Lon.

Ionsal,

Baer only sells kits. I already have all the components except for the brackets.

Can anyone help?

No Baer will sell you just breackets. I have called them. $75 each. But their kit uses 12" rotors while the 89 and up uses 11.65" rotors. So you have to buy their rotors too. So yes you kind of need the kit anyway.

Scooter,

I was referring to the front brakes for which they do offer 13, 13.5, and even 14" rotors. How much for those brackets?
By the way my car came w/ 12" rear rotors.
