    For those of you that are interested these are the only NEW stock 2-1/2" metric calipers that I can find. AFCO/US Brake advertises them as new on their website but they are indeed remans and cost almost twice as much.

    Click on the caliper picture to enlarge.

    I've had two sets of AFCO/US Brake 2-1/2" metric calipers http://www.afcoracing.com/brakes_m_calipers.html here at my shop in the last week and neither one was something I wanted to put on a fenderless car due to their unmatched appearance. In the pictures below the camera has made the calipers look like they're not the same size, but they actually are the same, with mounting holes 5-1/2" apart.

    I guess it's the info on the AFCO Racing website that's goofed up. I wish I'd known sooner and hadn't spent the last week finding out.

    Not for a fenderless car but those should work on my MII front end with the Forged brackets for GM metric calipers. Thanks.

    Oh, and I forgot to say that SW Speed's are normal drag not 'low drag' which
    means you don't need a step-bore or quick take-up master cylinder.
