dual rear caliper adapter plate.

does anybody have any pics or info on fc rx7 or any rx7 adapter plate to bolt a extra stock caliper to the rear for a separate hydraulic ebrake setup. im very interested in this and i cant find anything on it. i might try to get some made. not tryin to be rude but yes my ebrake works good so i dont need a the random "why would you wanna do that" comments. thanks

well i know how to setup a line lock and a regular hydro ebrake but formula drift rules state if you have a hydro ebrake it has to have its own calipers and reservoir. so im just going to hook up the hydro ebrake like normal for now until i can get some more info on adapters or ill have to just make some.

Any updates on this? I'm interested in this type of bracket for an FD. Anyone know if it's even possible clearance wise using the stock rear calipers

Racefab.com in NM just came out with a setup.

I just bought it. Waiting to get it to see if it will hold up.

You'll likely have to create your own brackets for this type of project but if you find some they might be like the road race guys with separate e-brake systems (they're usually cable e-brakes, picture attached of an Audi setup). Either way, keep us in the loop!



Edit: Just realized this is back from the dead.

Yep indeed it is back from the dead sorry, I just couldn't find anything out there in the google universe. Only saw nissans sporting other Nissan/Infiniti brakes. Mostly 300zx brakes being swapped around or 350z brakes swapped around.
The way most did it was to cut/grind off the stock mounting tabs and place a larger piece of steel/aluminum with the dual caliper mounting tabs bolted to the axle. Sounds easy enough but I dot have direct access to a machine shop to make the bracket

Higgi did it. You're probably on your own as far as fabbing one up. Maybe he'll make one?

I'm going to send my spindle and caliper to a 3d scanner then digitally have a new spindal and bracket to put another stock caliper on the real rotor. then have it made CNC machined.
