hahahha you and me got the same prob and yea called every where to find you have to buy the complete front to get the bracket. it is not sold by itself so im looking for a complete set of calipers so i can go ahead and change them out and look them over good and paint them now while their off the car might even rebuild them so that done too.... my dd right now shes down i had the slider pins on each front bracket rusted up the one on each side the bottom ones too sucks!!! i feel your pain hey by the way advance has the complete fronts for 76.00 each plus 40 core if you have to have just one
