What he is showing here, is that if he tried to use a sprint car caliper, on the mount that is on the rear end, where it would end up, the bracket he has will work just like it was made for, with a midget caliper, and I think that is what he's going to do, I found another one on Ebay, mounted the same way, but using the intended caliper, evidently the older housings were prone to break the bosses off the side bell, much like the midget rears do, I make a bracket out of steel, that mounts to 4 of the side bell bolts, and lets me mount the caliper off that, rather than the side bell, works great.
