Before I take the time to fabricate a set. Are there any adaptor brackets out there to convert a 3 1/2” spacing mount to 5 1/4” for an 11.75 rotor? Thanks in advance
This would be to go on the spindle with a 5 1/4” C to C caliper

I've never seen a conversion kit but there could be one out there.

IIRC, the spacing difference in the SL vs DL is roughly .300 so if you have the SL 3.5 bracket on the spindle you can lay a DL 5.25 on the inside of the SL brake bracket and weld it and it's really close to being in the right position if the SL bracket is .25 thick. I've seen guys do it at the track without cutting any of the SL bracket off.

You can also use the NDL caliper if you don't want to alter the spindles and need calipers also. They are a DL sized caliper that uses the SL 3.5 pattern.

Look on Sweets web site under the "suspension components" tab. Might be what your looking for.
