I made this bracket a couple weeks ago from this very drawing found floating around the forum. I didn't use the front bracket since I'm using C5 stuff there and needed to design my own. I have since decided to throw the bracket built from this drawing away because it is JUNK! Has anyone else had this bracket made or made it themselves from this drawing? How did it fit for you? When i tried to actually bolt it up, I found the holes that bolt to the spindle to be almost .100" off. When I did modify so it would actually bolt on, the caliper sat really uneven from the rotor all cattywumpas. I finally decided to scrap them and design them myself just like I did the C5 bracket up front. Anyone else have troubles with this drawing? Ok, and lets leave the whole incomplete drawing because they didn't mark the centerline on the dimension out. I'm saying it doesn't work very well or even at all.

Looks similar to the fiero addiction mounts. Those fit perfectly.

Those are not like the fieroaddiction mounts. Fieroaddiction mounts use 88 fiero calipers so they have different bolt spacing and shape to them.

I think they look like the ones that Bubbajoe had on his site for so long. I remember seeing the thread that these were posted in. It was a setup to use the 88-96 vette calipers on an 84-87 fiero. They were not setup to work on the 88 fieros. Sorry I can't add more info. I went with the fieroaddiction setup on my car cause I liked the ability of using fiero calipers, master cylinder, and lines. Good luck in your search for the info.
