Does anyone know of a source for caliper brackets for a Dodge 8 3/4 rear end? When I bought my 67 Camaro it had this rear under it. It's got posi and a 3.42 gear so I left it. I had moser redrill the axles for Chevy bolt pattern. I pieced together rear disc brakes using bolt on circle track Afco caliper brackets for GM metric calipers, 79-81 Tran-Am rotors, and 85 Seville Calipers. I getting ready to plumb the brakes and I don't have alot of confidence in the Afco caliper brakets. They are for a 3" axle tube. The Dodge rear is 3" but gets bigger at the flange, so I had to modify the brackets to work.

Thanks for any info.

Master power brakes makes a rear disc swap kit for the 8 3/4" rear end. As far as brackets gop, try AR engineering, they have done some cool stuff with the Viper caliper's on the fronts and rears of Mopars. He may have what you need.

Thanks for the tip! Doesn't look like AR sells any brackets for what I need.

Anyone else?

You can adapt ford cobra 11.7" discs on to that rear no problem. PM me with details.

I looked at his website and it really doesn't tell me squat for the rear disc. It pretty much states that he has the brackets, that's it. I e-mailed him so I'll see what I get for a response.

If you get a response, let us know. I'd like to know what caliper and rotor fits that bracket.
