    The best would be the Wilwood and have Prodrag build that bracket, you can never stop to quick.

    I found a new PM rear caliper for my shovel on Ebay for $150. Still wrapped. I think it was used as a display unit somewhere.
    Check Ebay for a new or newer caliper you can rebuild.

    Tattoo wanted the old PM caliper back. He looked at it and agreed that it was toast. Sat in a leaky barn for decades.

    Ordering the caliper kit from FabKevin today. I don't think you can beat $200 for a quality Japanese caliper AND a nicely styled stainless bracket. And parts will be available for years to come.

    I'm going with the FabKevin kit because it is a kit ready to go. No extra waiting, and a pretty fair price, too. I really like the look of his bracket, plus I can also get the (adjustable) anchor rod from him all at the same time.

    Tattoo wanted to keep the PM caliper; I guess he'd rather hang it up in his shop. He thinks the caliper was manufactered in the 70s.

    Thanks for all your input.
