Default Help with V6 to GT Brake setup/conversion

Does anyone have a good source for GT Caliper brackets? To make a long story short I've kinda painted myself into a corner...It's like this..

I purchased a set of GT takeoff 17" gray bullit rims & tires at the beginning of the summer for use as Winter wheels. For next summer I purchased a staggered set of Black 20" Shelby Redlines. I also got a black zinc coated set of rotorpros dimpled & slotted GT rotors w/Hawk pads. Fast forward to today....My stockers need to be replaced and I'm in desperate need of new brake pads. I've been putting it off until I got up the nerve to paint the Bullits. I just went out and purchased supplies to paint the bullit rims black(can't put grey rims on a white and black pony) today. With the hopes of painting them this weekend. I planned on swapping in the brake pads, new caliper brackets & the freshly painted rims next weekend. So my final purchase is the GT caliper brackets. I have searched high and low and no one has them. They are currently on backorder from Ford and they don't know when they'll be available for shipment. I'm left hanging until I can find a set of brackets...my only other alternative is to get a complete set o GT front calipers...but they're almost twice the cost(approximately $140)...if anyone knows where I could get a set I would forever be in your debt!!! Before anyone asks there's not a decent junk yard near me that has the parts, I've checked...

I just want the caliper brackets and not a complete set of new calipers w/pads. I have an unopened set of Hawk XPS Pads...Brackets by themselves should be almost half that price. I already tried them, I even called to see if they would sell me the brackets by themselves. Thanks tho...

Thanks for the link, but all I could find on that page were complete calipers, not just brackets. Thanks for the link....

Thanks for the link....maybe since it's ford they'd sell me the calipers by themselves. The sets aren't cheap....but just the brackets are. From silver state motor sports they're only $40 a set + $13 shipping for a total of $93....much cheaper than $160 + shipping(lets say $13)....that would be $173, almost double the price. After spending almost $300 on detailing products and Nearly $80 on painting supplies I'm tapped this weekend. I didn't think they'd be on backorder...

I already have a set of black zinc coated dimpled & slotted GT rotors ready to go on....I just need the brackets.

This is what you want.
Try posting in the wanted section.
I got mine from a member for $20 + S/H.
They abound in the hands of upgraded brake
GT owners only.
