Default Rear disc swap onto an 8.8, parts needed?

Im about to pick up 5 lug swap stuff from a 96' GT, ive searched the forum, am aware the car will have a wider track.

The thing I cant find is how the rear calipers mount to the axle housing. Are the housings the same on the SN95 cars? Will there be brackets off this donor car that will bolt onto my rear end?

Anyone have pictures of the rear axles and calipers from a SN95 on a fox 8.8?

Thanks in advance

Here is one of the blurry pictures I was sent.



I see the rear caliper supports there but am wondering about brackets to the axle housing?

This is what he has for sale

axles, spindles, calipers (X4), rotors (X4), pads (X4), bearings, almost new e brake cables ((X2), brake booster.

My 8.8 is all painted up with new bearings seals and 3.73's in it.

So I need to buy a bracket that bolts to where the backing plate bolts to, just the 4 bolts iirc?
