Brake Clamp Ring XD Steel

The BSB Manufacturing Brake Clamp Ring XD Steel (Part Number 7078) is a heavy-duty rear brake caliper bracket engineered for clamping onto 3-inch outer diameter axle tubes. Built from steel with a durable black powder coat finish, this clamp-on bracket is designed to work with GM metric brake calipers on light-duty and mid-range vehicles where welding is not an option or where modularity is preferred. Weighing 1.59 lbs and measuring 4.65 x 1 x 6.65 inches, the bracket provides a compact, field-proven solution for brake system installation and maintenance.

The clamp-on design eliminates the need for permanent welding, a critical advantage in restoration work, vehicle upfitting, and field repairs where axle tube access is limited or where the bracket may need repositioning. The black powder coat protects the steel substrate against corrosion and road salt exposure while maintaining a professional appearance. The 3-inch OD specification is a common axle tube diameter found in many domestic truck and SUV platforms, making compatibility straightforward for technicians familiar with metric caliper brake systems. Steel construction ensures the bracket maintains dimensional stability under the cyclic stresses of braking, while the compact cross-section (1 inch) minimizes interference with suspension components.

This bracket is suited for custom brake installations, vehicle restorations, heavy-duty truck builds, and situations where OEM fixed brackets have failed or where a non-welded fastening method is required. Mechanics, fabricators, and off-road enthusiasts working on rear axle assemblies will find the clamping design useful for quick fitment and adjustment without compromising structural integrity. Installation requires proper torque specifications and alignment to ensure even pressure distribution across the caliper mounting points.

BSB Manufacturing produces brake and suspension components for the automotive aftermarket, with a focus on practical, durable designs suited to field use. The Brake Clamp Ring XD Steel represents a straightforward approach to brake bracket installation—no welding, no drilling, just secure clamping to the existing axle tube. This makes it an ideal choice for one-off builds, mobile shop work, or situations where permanent modification to the axle is undesirable.
