Racecraft Spindle Brake Brackets

Does anyone know if the same brake conversion brackets used with stock spindles will work with racecraft spindles? I'm just wondering about the offset needed to mount the brackets (bolt spacing and thickness)

I asked them and their fabricator and they weren't positive, I've tried calling flynbye, the ones listed on their site as making the adapter brackets for their spindles and got the guy's wife, she said to call back after 7pm to ask questions about their parts and I've never gotten an answer after 7. I can't seem to find any other contact information and according to their site they've lost their fabricator/machinist and are back-ordered right now.

I can easily make my own but was wondering about the dimensions

Re: Racecraft Spindle Brake Brackets

are you sure about that? I dont know whether they will or not but you cannot put stock brakes on Racecraft spindles so I think there would be a problem here as well.

^what he said. Stock brakes will not work without a bracket designed to work with the stock caliper, which is available, but not a common piece to use here.

I remember back a few years there was talk that ed miller worked with racecraft during the design of these spindles and they were made to the same spec as a stock spindle in the snout/dust bolt hole locations so that a typical brake upgrade bracket could be used with these spindles.
