need mounting bracket for rear calipers

Post by mkpm90 »

Love this forum. I have a 2003 GT with 140k miles, been serving us well until this comes along. The right rear mounting bracket for the brake caliper is completely rusted and needs to be replaced. I called around to all the local stores to no avail on Sat. On Monday I'll start trying dealerships. If unsuccessful I'll have to start looking at junk yards. Does anyone know of an auto parts store who carries this part? thanks a bunch

I would think the caliper mounting bracket is a dealer only item, as they would rarely need replacing. Any chance you could have it bead blasted and painted? Is it THAT badly rusted?
