Need help locating some GSLSE rear caliper brackets!

Hey guys,

I'm doing a full SE suspension swap on my GS, and have all the parts I need except for the rear caliper brackets. They weren't included on the rear end that I bought. I can't even find anyone who sells the calipers with the brackets anymore. I've checked Autozone, Advance, Rock Auto, Oreilly, and all I can find is the rear left which is supplied by A1 Cardone. It looks like the rear right is discontinued? I can find a set of calipers without the brackets no problem. It's finding the ones with the brackets included that is causing me problems.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on some rear SE calipers brackets, new or used? I don't want this to stop the entire SE suspension swap just because of some lousy brackets.

Help would be much appreciated fellas!
Jamie

the GSL brackets should work for the SE as well since the housings are the same. i believe only the caliper is different since the SE is vented.

The GSL-SE has larger diameter rear brake rotors than the GSL though. Wouldn't that cause the brackets to be different since the rear axle housings are the same?

Sometimes he isn`t.
