picked these brackets up last weekend. The ones on the right I have positively identified as the Seville Front Caliper brackets. I do however want to know what the two on the left are. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

So the rear ones with the oval cut out are the ones I want for the rear if I want to keep Parking brakes?
I've found lots of content on the seville front and rear brackets but the set on the left in the picture above are not them. Just the right ones. Does anyone have any pictures of the brackets you are speaking of? Thanks!

To clarify, are you talking about the brackets seen here on the right or other brackets?
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/046895.html

Edit to add: I have compared the brackets on the left directly to the SeVille rear brackets and not only do mine not have the oval cut out, The threaded holes are not in the same place.

katore,
look at the pic here....top right
http://www.fieroaddiction.c...n_page=index&cPath=3 (yea i know it is small and fiero addiction is not making these annymore) but it looks like you have an earlier design. there have been several designs and tweeks of this set up. i have never done it but i was concidering it and read alot of the postsabout it. i really don't think the oval hole you see does anything but shave weight from one of the brackets and that is another tweek of the design. some were made with the calipers rotated slightly to help with connecting the ebrake or brake hose ( i can't remember). if you click here http://www.fieroaddiction.com/brakes.html you can scroll down and there is a list of which calipers to use and where. the front calipers are not seville...unless someone tweeked the design again to use seville ones on the front. archie and some others still make this set up in some form.
if you click here https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...050410-1-048366.html you will see the drawings of brackets similar to what you have and the two small brackets reffered to earlier in this thread for the ebrake cable.
hope this helps.

Sorry forgot ive been on the road. So connection is hit and miss.

The parking brake brackets look like boomerangs. Like previously mentioned there are a few different verions out there. I have the seville front and rear set up. Havent installed it yet but planning to once i get home. Tracking down just the boomerang brackets was a little difficult though.
