Brake Bracket Assembly Wide 5 .5 Deg

The Brake Bracket Assembly Wide 5 .5 Deg is a precision rear brake caliper mounting solution engineered for high-performance hot rod and custom vehicle builds. Designed as a bolt-on component, this bracket assembly integrates with 8-bolt flange axle housings and Wide 5 bolt patterns—standard configurations in muscle car, street rod, and vintage drag racing platforms. This assembly solves the critical alignment challenge when upgrading brake systems or modifying rear suspension geometry, ensuring proper caliper positioning relative to the rotor for consistent brake performance and longevity.

Constructed from aluminum and steel for optimal strength-to-weight balance, the Brake Bracket Assembly features a Tiger bolt-on snout design that provides secure axle mounting without permanent modifications. The 0.5-degree camber adjustment built into this assembly compensates for suspension geometry variations, allowing fine-tuning of brake caliper squareness to the rotor surface. This precision engineering minimizes uneven pad wear and brake fade, critical factors in both street and track applications. The compact footprint—measuring 4.6 x 2.6 x 7.85 inches—fits within tight rear-end housings without interfering with suspension components or driveline elements.

Technicians and enthusiasts restoring or modifying classic American vehicles with Wide 5 rear axle assemblies benefit most from this bracket's plug-and-play compatibility and adjustment capability. Installation requires only standard hand tools and basic mechanical skill—bolt the assembly to the 8-bolt flange, secure the caliper, and adjust the camber angle if necessary for rotor alignment. The lightweight construction at 1.31 lbs ensures minimal unsprung mass, preserving ride quality while improving brake response. Compatible with most full-size U.S. muscle cars, hot rods, and vintage race vehicles from the 1960s–1980s era.
