1G Looking for brackets/adapters for EVO X Brembos

[dj1263]

Hi guys,
Good to be back on the forums, I have a 92 1G and need some Brembo front brackets/adapters.
I've searched thru lots of threads including KVM's old one, but I only see them for EVO 8-9, does anyone make them for EVO X's? Wondering what fellow dsmers are doing now
thanks

Evo X front calipers can be installed onto Evo 8/9 by enlarging the mounting holes on the knuckles by 2mm. That's it.

Great thank you!

Actually I have a 1g dsm, I don't have an EVO, Im trying to find out if the bracket adapter that allows Evo 8/9 Brembos to go on 1g's will also fit Evo X Brembos on those same brackets

I think Canadian_CD9A was suggesting that if you take brackets intended to install EVO 8/9 calipers onto a DSM and modified them slightly (to accommodate the larger bolts necessary to install EVO 10 calipers), it will work.

If he wasn't suggesting that, I will.
Here's the deal:
EVO 5-9 calipers (it's EVO 5-9 not just EVO 8-9) are the same as EVO 10 calipers EXCEPT that they use larger bolts to mount them (14mm vs 12mm) and they have longer mounting "ears" that match the larger diameter rotors that came with the EVO 10. Therefore, you can take brackets intended to install EVO 5-9 calipers onto a DSM and modify the brackets to accommodate the larger bolts AND use the larger rotors that came stock on EVO 10 and it will work.

Thanks Paul, I will be buying from you then!
