Well i have a bullitt brake kit on my stang. A couple nights ago one of my front caliper bolts backed out and the caliper swung up and got all scraped up against the inside of my rim. The caliper wasnt too bad i already cleaned it up and resprayed it but the bracket was slightly bent and the holes wouldnt line up. I tried to bend it back but the thinner outer side of it broke. The bracket should be the same as any cobra right? Has anyone ever had to replace the bracket? Where can i get one? I REALLY dont want to have to buy a whole freakin new caliper!

If yes then look at the half point mark on this page. http://www.performancepartsinc.com/suspension.htm

They are 69.99

also ensure the bolts are torqued at 95 ft.lbs.
