[Morton]

I think there are four. We don't sell them, but I'm sure if you were to get a half-decent one out and bring it 'round, I could match it up to something similar that could be modified to work

If you're talking about where the 4 long bolts go through to hold the K frame in, there are none. The K frame is solid mounted on a Commodore.

Nice work Morton, no stuffing around here.

You're going to learn a lot behind the wheel of this thing Morticia

Hahahahahahahahahahaha no. Here's one right now:


Heavy duty link-pins installed. Machined discs, new bearings and fresh pads installed. Calipers flushed, slides re-greased, etc etc.

Brakes now need to be bled, and then the wheels can go back on!!

And proof, if proof were needed, that I've done both sides:
