Rear disk brake bracket

[DWP]

Picked up a set of Arms from here

A thing a beauty, almost hate to paint them.
I need a Bracket for my rear disk brake caliper, with emergency brake. The cast ones from CB Performance do not fit. I am looking for something a little better than the stamped steel ones. Any Ideas

Nice looking arms!

Can you make your own brackets? Mount the rotors, put the calipers in place, put some air in the caliper to hold it in place and come up with a design, bends and hole locations. This is the way I have seen it done several times.

Making the brackets is something I am considering. The arms are chromoly. Not sure I can weld a bracket with just a MIG.
There is also the point that sometimes you need to stop trying to fabricate every part just to get some progress.

I could try to get my wife to buy me a TIG

Another option is to start with this

Picky, picky!

No one said you had to weld the brackets in place, do a bolt on the the Appletree Auto ones you posted.

From experience I can imagine the wedgie you would/could get; both verbal and manually, from your wife when proposing the TIG setup. (They don't have a scared/frightened happy face but then again that would be a misnomer too but consider this one)

I’m scared too; don’t mention my name if you broach the subject! Lee
