RE: porsche callipers

hi, just bought some 4 pot calipers for my mk3 cupra, they are the rear callipers from a porsche boxster, was just wondering if anybody knew where i could get some calliper adapter brackets from. many thanks

I just made some when i had mine. Got some metal plating and just measured the width i needed and the bolt spacing. Simple enough bud

don't suppose you've still got the old measurements or what type of metal plating you used. cheers

No i dont mate sorry, sold the car (massive regrets). I remember one plate was aluminium and the other was steel as i couldnt get any more alu. Makes no difference as its only a bracket piece.
My measurements weren't "exact" i just held each piece to the calliper and trimmed to the correct width, then measured the bolt spacing and drilled holes through. Doesn't need to be spot on

Did this not effect the offset of the calliper & pad material contact on the disc?

Not if you cut each adapter bracket the same
