I have a Jamar wide 5 front and rear brake set up.
I am not a huge fan of the Jamar calipers and would like to upgrade to Wilwood calipers. The fronts are an easy to sort, but I can't find any info on how to fit wilwood calipers on the rear. I remember there being a rear wilwood caliper bracket but can't find it anywhere?

Anyone help?
Thanks,
Lee

Edit: saw your reply on the Samba. Yes, the Wilwood 2-pots should fit. The 4-pots will not fit your current brackets.

Jamar makes a bracket for a 4-pot, but obtaining those may be difficult. You might want to try Jaycee/Geers/Lummus, or Airkewld.

what exactly is wrong with jamar calipers apart from they don't have wilwood written on them.

Having had wilwoods before on a different car I prefer the build quality and spares are far easier to get this side of the pond.
Is that ok?

 The guy's information I sold my Wilwood brake setup to is in a private message I just sent you, he is pretty cool and he may have a copy of the caliper bracket you are asking about, Mike McCarthy
