Default Those 4-pot brake caliper adapters

These things:



Amazon Amazon

Are they symmetrical? I've got a couple calipers from newer models that are supposed to fit with these adapters, but I'm not seeing one for Left and one for Right.

Be aware sometimes you need to shim things a bit with those adapters to get everything to sit square & true otherwise they work well enough.

Thanks man, that's the easy part. Washers/shims and bolts I got, cutting and chroming metal is a lot more of a chore.

Thanks but I already got the calipers. Just need the adapters (and maybe bolts and shims and whatnot).

Coupla months ago I would have taken them tho.

I'll send the hardware I got with them. I think there are bolts, but no shims. I'll get into the shop and see what all is there and will post a pic before I ship them
