I need some info:

Does anyone besides Douge Rippie sell adapters to mount J55 brakes on early C4's?

Are the brackets with the Baer Track kit custom made one piece?

If there is a custom bracket, anyone seen them sold seperately and an idea about price?

I know, get A-mold wheels and upgrade to C5. I don't want to spend the bucks for new wheels.

Thanks,

JS

I run the Baer "Track" front brake setup and the bracket is a one-piece unit.
 
C'mon, someones got to be able to machine some of these cheaper than what Rippie wants. I'm in the same situation with ya JS. I already have the J55's even though I've got some 17" sawblades. What is the Bera Track and how much is it?
 
Baer sent me a note, they have the brackets from their Track kit (J55 with BAER caliper) that are one piece for $85 each. For 85-87 cars this is a custom bracket and doesn't use any adapter. This is what is on Ken's car.
There is a front set of GrandSport brakes for $250 on ebay. I think I'm headed that way.
