Bracket and Toe
Wondering if there is something off the shelf or what others have done/fabricated for an inner wheel pant bracket that could fit the setup on my HRII. I have Matco WHLBE9 dual piston 4 pad calipers which are about twice the size of the typical calipers used on RV's and the Van's inner bracket...

VAF Charity Cap: Help your charity and promote this site.
Get the cap all the cool kids are wearing! I don’t get a penny. It’s around $15. $5 more if you want your N-number on the back (I put 'STAFF' on the back of mine because it makes me laugh. Put STAFF on yours too if it makes you smile). And down the road $10 to the charity of your choice...
