Default Need help, caliper brackets

So I got a new used axle for the front end and it’s a cad style Dana 30 did the conversion to one peice. Went to reinstall the calipers I had from the non cad axle they don’t fit come to find out I need a caliper bracket and other calipers well I found the calipers but cannot find the correct bracket anywhere not even local junk yards. What can I do to get some?

There are two sizes of calipers. The earlier CAD style has a smaller caliper. You will need the knuckles from your old axle. They are fairly easy to swap, but will take you a few hours to do all of it

Unfortunately I don’t have the old ones anymore, and I already got the other calipers and pads for this axle

You can get the right knuckles at a wrecking yard. I had to do the same thing when I upgraded my D30 awhile back
