Who sells brake caliper spindle brackets?

[RSchwarzli]

With the crew cab coming up on needing brakes, I have been looking at doing larger brakes and calipers. With these though, I need to modify the spindle bracket that holds the caliper but I dont want to modify the originals in the event my idea fails and I need to revert back to stock. Does anyone know of a yard or place that parts axles in pieces vs having to buy an entire front member just for the brackets? I cant seem to find just those brackets anywhere. :{

Thanks!

What for calibers are you looking to put on? I know some people and ill talk to them and see if I can find the mounts for you.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Still working on the exact caliper. But regardless of what one I go to, I have to use the spindle mount that is gen 1 and then modify it for simplest install.

Let me know what you decide to go with & I'll look through the parts barn & get it out to you.

If you have the brackets off a W350 front Dana, please do let me know and how much you are wanting! Would much rather buy from a fellow TDR guy vs a shop!

Thanks!

I have a friend who has a set but he said he wants $300 for the set, or $700 for the whole axle

If I have some, they're yours for a couple beers. Check back with me by PM this weekend.

Wow. That's a good chunk just for brackets. Thanks for checking though!

I agree with you but at the same time I see were he doesn't want to ruin a good axle by taking them off, Have you thought about using the ones you have as a template and making new ones from scratch ?

Oh I am following. Was hoping someone had parts and didnt have to pull an axle. Also shipping on that axle would be more than what he wants for it! lol

Yes. But that is last resort.

Did you find the brackets you were looking for? I may have a line on the brackets you are looking for. Your looking the caliper mounting brackets that bolt on the back of the front backing plate. PM me if that is are what looking for.

Hey Bob,

Yes, those are the ones I am looking for. Or the left one in this photo:

I like your custom one you got there, but it looks a little on the thin side to me.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Yeah. The thin one is not mine. Was for demonstration purposes only. I want a stock one as it is beefy.
