socaldatsun Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Well my dad was determined that the brackets I had for the front will fit the Z32 caliper set up "it didn't" we bolted everything up and well he was quietfor the rest of the day. lol well this got me woundering.... what if I got the wrong setup for the rear aswell. I went to the garage a few mins ago and started to put the rotor on and the mounting bracket for the caliper. I got the first bolt in but the second one wont line up, its off by a hair. On top of that the caliper bracket was rubbing on the rotor once it was all lines up with just one bolt. I thought maybe it was bent a little so I get a wood paint mixer and sat it on the back of the bracket and surely it was bent a little but wasnt sure if thats how it was made? so my question is, do I have the right bracket for the isuzu amigo set up? If not what calipers will fit this Bracket? Bracket Straight test clerance of the rotor to the caliper mounting bracket "tight fit" my calipers from the isuzu amigo thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

socaldatsun Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Came with the truck when I got it. The guy said he got them off of Bee. Do you reconise these? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 They look like Bee's brackets. But they look bent too. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 So I do have the right brackets for the right calipers? they are just bent a little? I already had to buy the new brackets for the front, didnt want to go change something else now. :( Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 There is only one bracket for the rears. Did you get the right calipers? Are you also saying the Z32's didn't fit either? Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yup, I got them from the parts store. 93 isuzu amigo calipers and mounting brackets. and yeah the Z32 didnt fit but its because my dad swore that the hardbody bracket I have would fit, I barely ordered the bracket today.

rpowell25 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 If the rear bracket were straightened would the caliper fit? Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 What? well I ordered the calipers at kragen. My dad was so determined that the Z32 calipers will fit the Hardbody caliper brackets that I have. so no the calipers for the Z32 did not fit but it is because it is the wrong bracket, I ordered the right bracket today.
