Cobra Brake Caliper Brackets

bonestock3.8DTH · Jan 16, 2012

So for Christmas I got Cobra Calipers, but it was just the calipers and no brackets. I didnt specify to my parents that I needed the Brackets also but that was because I thought that if we got the Calipers they would come with the brackets but I was wrong. Now I am looking for brackets for them, and I am having a very hard time trying to find the brackets for them. Where do you guys Suggest I look or do you know where to get them? Or do any of yall have a set of front Cobra brake brackets and hardware that you would be willing to sell?

Alls you would need would be the brackets. The bolts that hold your stock brakes in you can reuse. You will probably have to go to the dealership..I had to get new brackets for mine..I know the manger at the ford dealer so i got 30% off, but you'll end up paying like a 100 a piece.. not cheap..Or call the company they got them from and see if they can send ya some out..GL bro.

Which parts store? What was the remanufacturer's name on the box (if you remember), thnx

It was advanced auto parts, and I believe the brand was fenco. they don't say cobra on them, but they are pbr, so its the same as mach 1 brakes.

Ford doesn't produce them anymore I got the parts guy at the dealership I work at to call ford and ask them and they told him they couldn't get any. I mean I would pay 100 a peice for them we may end up turning them back into Orilleys autoparts and get the money back them buy a pair of calipers that come with the brackets idk

check late model restoration. they sell a kit with brand new calipers and brackets, if anyone could get them, its them.

Don't forget............... When you go to the 13" Cobra brakes your 15" spare will no longer fit. Not so easy to find.

Thats what Im doing, I was thinking about it on my way home from work and deicded Im going to buy the kit off of LMRS which comes with Powerslut rotors Hawk performance pads SS beaded brake lines and then the calipers and brakets and all. Im just going to reuse my calipers and sell the ones from the kit because I have OEM Cobra calipers and they'll look better then the ones painted red with SVE in black on them. the kit is basically 600 bucks and the way I look as it is I was going to pay 80 for pads another 80 for brake lines which is 160 then 230 for powerslut rotors and then another 200 on brackets so thats 560 so its worth it just to pay the extra 40 bucks and get the calipers which I can sell.
