Front caliper mounting bracket

I have a 92 FXR with 39.. fork sliders. I also have a four pot caliper from a late Fatboy.
The mounting holes do not line up of course so i was wondering, does anyone know of a place that makes/sell conversion brackets.

I could make one i know but my machining access is nil just a hacksaw and file.

Re: Front caliper mounting bracket

I do need to get a better picture of the finished install just noticed the over legth bolts.
But if anyone needs anything making let Me know. I dont do it as a business just build My own bikes but for the cost of materials/consumables and a doantion to wards My millling machine fund I will do what I can. Got to put that toolmakers apprentiship to use some time seeing as I now work in IT

Re: Front caliper mounting bracket

just finished the brakes on My evo lowrider, ya for having to special order the bolts for the calipers. Now have twin 6 pots. Instead of the old single pot paper weights that were on it.
