    Off hand would anyone know if anybody is making S10 caliper brackets any more for the closed knuckle front ends, I am stripping out my S10 Blazer of the tilt column box and pump I put new calipers on it about a year before It got wrecked and they should still be fine but I can turn them in for cores if I have to do the full size brake conversion.Thanks T.J.

    R&P 4 WD Parts Inc. was. You'd have to contact John and see if they still are.

    The kit that used the S-10 calipers was their "1/4 ton disc brake conversion". It's not listed on the link I posted but doesn't mean it's not available.

    actually the more I looked into it last night the more it makes sense to go with the 1/2 ton parts now that the Chevy caliper brackets are available aftermarket there is probably no incentive to manufacture the brackets anymore along with liability issues. T.J.

    John is very knowledgeable and friendly. He may have options that might work for you.

    They were building the kit so the rotors slipped on the outside of the hub instead of having disc brake hubs or machining the back side of the hub. It was virtually a bolt on with very few mods if any (varied from different Jeeps and how they came equipped).
