Re: Caliper bracket mount template for 55-59 w/12"rotors

I hailed the vendors and asked if anyone sold the mounting brackets only for a 6 lug 12" rotor disc brakes calipers for 55-59 chevy/gmc. I only found vendors who sold the 5 lug caliper mounting brackets only for 11" rotors.

So as some of you have done, I will create my own brackets for use with 78 K10 rotors and lug studs and 72 c10 calipers and hoses.

I will use either 5/16" or 3/8" --to be determined --- and I will trace my pattern for both sides
for future use.

These probably can be used with 15" wheels if you use a 1" spacer to clear the tie rod end which I doubt would hurt many of us. Dunno yet.

Again, input is appreciated. I wish a happy holiday to all.
