Suess Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 Hello all was wondering if someone knows the answer for this. I installed the brackets for the disc brake conversion on my 47 ply buisness. When it came time to install the calipers it is a no go. The bracket holes from hole to hole is 5 1/2 the caliper is almost 7 inches. The brackets are for rusty hope. The calipers are from a 85 Buick lesabre... Was I supposed to get different calipers? Or is it possible the bracket is supposed to go to something else? Quote
littlemo Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 Same thing happened to me when I installed my disc brakes. I had asked for calipers based on application rather then using specific part numbers contained in Charlies parts list. Parts house gave me the wrong calipers!!! Cass, alias littlemo.. PS: shel_bizzy_48 is correct, Charlie gives GREAT tech support. If you don't have his parts list, contact him and get one. Quote
Suess Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Posted May 19, 2012 Wrong calipers indeed. Charlie emailed me back almost imediatly. Will hit the parts store in the morning. Quote
