Default FRS Brembo caliper brackets to 2wd Cossie hub - where from?

I need a good quality bracket which can properly fit Focus RS brembo calipers and discs to the 2wd Cosworth hub?

I have a set of brackets that came with the brakes off someone on here but the brackets are shit and causing the calipers to hit the wheel hence needing a decent set of brackets to do the job.

Cheers

Ran

You will struggle with the hocks Ran, i think my wheels are et35 and yours et40, and i had to run a 6mm spacer to get them to clear, making them et29 i believe? im on home made brackets and the wheels just clear the backs of the spokes and the inside of the rim.
i dont think anyone makes them off the shelf, i did ask reyland as they do radial mount brackets but the weren't interested.

Ade500 has the same set of wheels on his 3dr and they are ET40 too. Need to ask him what brakes he is using.

Im sure most tuners or garages have done this mod already, the problem is the bottom of the caliper is hitting the inside of the wheel not the spokes.

i havent done metal work since secondary school and that was only when the teacher's wanted me in their class

i realise its very simple to make but for someone who works on computers all day - i actually want some brackets that fit properly as the ones i was given with the brakes look like a home made job and they certainly fit like one

they are focus rs discs and the same brembos as found on focus rs's.

the brackets look like they were made by a blind man, the holes for the bolts are too big as when you do an emergency stop the whole caliper moves and hits the wheel

Surely someone has a decent set as its a fairly common conversion and im surprised there arent many people selling ready made brackets for these.
