Installed by P.O. The lower caliper mounting bolt backed off while wheeling, locked up the tire and tweeked the bracket and flange. Switched out the upper mounting bolt for the missing lower and limped back.

Can anyone identify this setup including calipers (t-bird I think)? I have not been able to identify this setup through this site or catalogs...matbe I am missing it.
Thanks

From what I can see in the pics the brackets look pretty similar to the ones I saw in the James Duff catalog...if you haven't looked there it might be worth a shot.

I do not recognize the brackets...but that looks like a Lincoln Mark VII rear caliper. Those calipers are not that great and do not use a standard piston. Its the screw plunger type...but a popular swap if you can find a 84-88 Mark VII it is a old hot rod common swap on 8" and 9" rearends.

Absolutely correct. Those are the first gen Mark VII rear calipers. As for bracketry, I would guess either Currie or maybe Stainless Steel Brakes. They have both sold kits with those calipers over the years.

In fact, it looks like Currie still does:

I will concur. Definatly Ford. I can see the Ford logo clearly on the caliper bracket.
It is an older design as the parking brake is part of the caliper.
Looks different then the '94 up Mustang
But Mark VII or SVO would be good guesses.
The casting style looks too new for the old 70's style.

Do the rotors have 2 bolt patterns on them? I think you will also find a 5 on 4½" bolt circle as well.
