Default Calipers
Take a look at those on a 88 Ford Tbird Turbo coupe, The same casting is used on alot of the Ford applications but I am unsure of the various piston diameters. Currey and others make brackets that allow the use of these (which are much lighter than the Versalles OEM ones), to be used on the 9" housing.
I have detailed pics if you want to look. SSB appears to have used them as a pattern for their new aluminum caliper.
The brackets bolt to the back side of the housing ends, no welding in case you decide to change calipers later.
