JTO RDB brackets

[snailwagon]

I know JTO has a god awful reputation, so, has anyone ever used their rear disc brake conversion brackets? For anyone who has tried them, was grinding the calipers a little necessary, or are those caliper mounting holes (the threaded ones) about 0.1" off.

well ,I just did their front disc conversion and the bracket did have one hole that was tapped all jacked and I had to re tap . Also noticed the caliper does not ride against the bracket. It uses the bolts as the only contact point.

considering the quality issues and, now, customer service issues that i'm having with jto, i'd recommend tsm manufacturing out of castle rock. also, somewhere, someone posted a cad style drawing of the bracket that you could cut out.

i used JTOs brackets and rotors and 4/wheel disc M/C on my76 FJ40 and had no problems what so ever and service was great. i didnt have to grind anything but i have after market aluminum wheels.

I bought their brackets a couple of weeks ago and just finally found someone to machine my rotors (the local performance muffler shop, $30). The tapped holes on the brackets are approximately 0.095" off. With the chevy caliper design, the tolerance is nonfunctional. Hopefully customer service will be ok, but I'm not expecting it. Oh well, I was warned about those people, and I ignored all warnings just trying to save a buck.
