I need another set. The ones i already had have had the slide pins sieze in them and i wrecked them trying to get them out.

I need to find a set of the u-shaped brackets the caliper bolts to but have been unable to. All i can find is the GT/V6 version.

I know i can modify them, but i would prefer to use what is supposed to go there.

For those wondering, i need the style on the left

Napa has one listed on their website for a 95 Cobra (just happened to be the year I chose to use), but the picture shows the "not" one. I wonder if they just use a generic Mustang caliper bracket image, or if it's truly the one you aren't looking for? Might be worth a look, if you have a Napa store local to you.

Click to expand...

They list the same part number for the GT and Cobra, so it's prob not the one i need.

In fact, everywhere i look only sells the GT version.

Seems the only way i can find to get the Cobra ones is to find someone selling them, or buy used.

Or i could just get the GT ones and mill the slot wider, but i'd rather use the correct part

I wonder if they are true Cobra brackets or just GT brackets modified??

They show a pic of the GT braces.

That's the entire caliper however. I only need the bracket.

I ordered from diskbrakesrus.
