showtymers619, your explaination sucks big time...

with my calculation, you didnt buy the calipers from Opak... but you tryna order just the bracket from Opak... correct???

if so, i dont see why its Opak's fault when you didnt even make sure if the twin block actually fits..

you guys should show more sympathy man i hate when companies say one thing, you spend a small fortune because of it, then when **** goes bad they let you get the bad end of the deal.

maybe you guys like to throw around money but i know i don't.

ok heres exacty what idid..
i did some research .. but on the search part on HT doesnt show any kits for the twin block going onto the newer cars..

so i searched the makers .. (spoon) obviously ran by opakracing in the US as a main dealer it states spoon brackets to work in conjunction for the twin block calipers for the applications listed ap1/ep3

so i thought to myself cool someone is selling twin blocks and i can jus buy the 200 dollar spoon brackets to make them fit

so i buy the calipers (private seller)..and rite when i got home i went and called opakracing hey i want to order the twin block brackets that goes for the Ap1 (opaksracings answer) AP1 uses the monoblock
(my answer) so what are those brackets for that you guys listed that works for the twin block for the ap1/ep3?
(opakracings answer) oh thats a mistake/misprint

see now i wouldnt have bought the calipers if the site itself didnt have that type of fact with is false ..

so you are saying i shouldnt have bought the calipers based on there website "saying they have a bracket that a twin block can fit on a ap1"

i dont think you understand at all

im not complaining about the calipers .. im complaining that they have false information about the brackets for the twin block calipers
