Hello, I might have found a pair of dual piston awd calipers from a '93 awd Talon to upgrade my 92 awd. However they are missing the brackets (or torque plates?). I like these since I won't need to screw around with different lines. Btw anyone try the ebay dot approved lines? They sell 4 for <$100.

Can I source them from something like an avenger? Avenger brackets look bigger then the 92, but not sure. I did read and search the usual suspects, but most sites like vfaq only talk about the calipers or sets.

Or can I get them resonably from satan? Thanks!

You can source them from the vehicles that are absolutely known to have them. Is it an all-inclusive list? I don't know, but who cares? For sure all 93 and up AWD T/L/E came with the "big" brakes stock. That's your source. Can they be purchased seperately from the dealer. No. They're included with the calipers, not available seperately.

Well thanks for the reply. I care because there is 1 (yes one) Awd Talon in all the wreckers around Regina. And it's missing the brackets.

Very hard to come by parts for these cars here. In the 10 years I have been driving DSM's, there have been very few awd cars parted from the wreckers here. There must be some scary right offs running around =p

Put up a want to buy ad but in all honesty, not too many people are going to part with their brackets or they'll be in the same situation as you. Just sit and wait I suppose.

Check out www.car-parts.com

You may be able to call a wrecking hard near you (relatively) and get them shipped.
