Pawpaw's 55 GMC.......my new project

[jwilson645]

Well I got my 3/8" plate and cut the brackets out. Not happy with them. These are straight pieces and to use the 3/8, they really need a bend in them for the caliper. The inside pad won't fit between the rotor and bracket without grinding. I currently have the bracket ground down to 5/16" so that the pad fits but it still needs more so the pad doesn't ride against the rotor so much.

The 15x6 wheel is also rubbing the caliper even with the 3/16 spacer. Have to grind there too and maybe up the spacer. I won't do that though until I resolve the bracket issue.

I took measurements of the correct brackets that come with the 6 lug disc kits, I'll try to find and post
