Check out my rear disc brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not really, just card board templets stuck on the drivers side. I can't make the real ones yet because I don't know where to put the notch for the caliper. I have to wait for them to get here so I know where it needs to be. Anyway, I was just messing around and decided to make these. The caliper notch matches the front brakes. Everything looks to be pretty easy to do. I talked to a machine shop today about cutting the big holes with a plasma cutter. The real brackets will be made from 3/8" plate steel. I plan to do everything except for the big holes.

Now how are you managing this with the fingers...?

I'm not totally disabled. I can use my thumb and first finger real good. The other three sort of tag along. I'm also able to type again. Just can't make a fist since they are stiff.
