No I fabbed my own using Cad parts from an 85 Seville, I used the drum brake backing plate and the Seville caliper plate . The Seville caliper mounting plate dont match the axel flange on a 12 bolt so I cut the centers out of the drum brake backing plate cut the center out of the Seville Caliper bracket welded the drum brake backing plate center into the Caliper bracket and used Eldorado front 5 on 5 rotors works pretty slick. I prefit everything mounted up the calipers rotors adapted fittings to apply the calipers with air tack welded everything with the brakes applied using air pressure to the calipers then when I was satisfied it was all aligned broke it all back down and finished welding the caliper mount brackets.They work perfectly on the test bench and im sure will work on the rig only issue is Im runnin 6 lug ralleys for now and havnt found a 6 lug rotor yet to interchange with the Eldo 5on 5 1-1/4" rotor
