Squealing .... squealing is noise ... noise is vibration ... think quitar string ... dampening the vibration eliminates the noise ... Spent a significant portion of my automotive career in the brake environment ... Worked closely with the GM Proving Grounds in Milford on brake noise

Ok you may be in luck, think I have at least one of those brackets and that caliper still new in a stash box. Bought half a truck of stuff when Arlen Ness was moving out of his old shop and they were dumping cheap and there was a good pile of those adapters, mounts and odds & ends in it. Let me dig that crate out and look if so we can work something out

Yup, one of those calipers never mounted with new pads and 4 of those adapters also new never mounted. You are new around here and I don't do paypal so we'll have to figure something out if.., I'm bay area too north of you.

Did a load of custom stuff over time, got all kinda weird fun stuff like that.

Wow, would love to buy 2 of those adapters, looks like they would fit my forks. How to proceed, is there a way for me to give you my email thru this forum?

You are right I am a newbie here :-)

A heads up guy on eBay right now has used set of the bigger 4 piston PM calipers with the brackets to fit that front end. You’ll have to get some posts in before we can trade private messages, forum rules but if you want this stuff and there’s a few more parts like spacers and brackets that fit yours also I’ll hook you up pretty good with it all.

Go get your post count up and I’ll make a pile and post the pictures and we can go from there. Rather see this stuff go somebody who’ll use it.
