[s-cars] BBK question

Apikol brackets without a doubt. You're very fortunate this didn't happen as a 
high speed hard stop.

Subject: [s-cars] BBK question

So I was coming to a stop at an intersection near my house and CLUNK!!! Brakes 
stopped working.  Got the wheel off and caliper was lying at the bottom of the 
wheel, with the adapter bracket for the 993 caliper split in half, right through 

the mounting holes.
I did not install the brackets, they were on the car when I got it, but they 
were sourced from a local shop that I believe had them machined at a local 
machine shop (about 7 years ago).
 
Anyway, I could buy a pair of new brackets from them, but instead of waiting for 

a machine shop, I’m wondering what’s available for a good price (but more 
importantly, well made).  What are the preferred sources for brackets to fit 
(what I believe are) 993 C2 calipers to an UrS (caliper p/n 993-351-421-001)?
 
I suppose I need all new bolts too… I have the Porsche p/n here, anyone know if 
these things usually use the oe bolts to mount the bracket to the car?  If so, 
got that p/n handy?
 
Good reminder to frequently check these things (along with SS lines, if you have 

them).
 
Thanks,
Erik
