You don't say what year but as you will know there are two different brackets for the 84 to 87 and 88 to 96.

If you get completely stuck you can find the measurements to make your own here:

Regardless of the choice I believe you need to be very cautious of those that are offered by almost everyone out there. I'd make sure that anyone I considered buying from could supply you with references and confirm fit of their product. You buy, install and don't know what you've got until it becomes an issue, sometimes never if it's quality product, sometimes much sooner but certainly way beyond the seller offering any accommodations.

Lots to consider.

Ensure the whole assembly aligns properly. I bought a kit from VBP when I first bought The Ghost, and the caliper brackets were off.

Call Van Steel, they will sell the proper kit you are looking for guaranteed.

I also threw away a set of VB&P conversion brackets. I ended up with the ones Exotic muscle sells (not sure who makes them) and they were less than prefect too.
