welding on caliper mount brackets(how to)

[sucmah]

What are you guys doing to sqare up your caliper brackets for the weld on style for rear axles, i thought about somehow putting air to the caliper so square it up against the rotor and then welding the bracket on, any suggestions appreciated.

Thats how I have done it numerous times, mount the caliper to the bracket, use an air nozzle with rubber tip, pressurize the caliper and tack on the bracket.

That is the same way I do it too.

make sure you have enough clearance so the caliper isn't riding on the rotor. :awesomework:

you can also pick a a schrader valve that threads right into the calliper and air it up and weld on and off you go

or just use a big pair of oddballs and clamp the body of the caliber to the rotor, then you can still make fine adjustments.
