impossible to find camaro bracket - canada

I'm doing the front brakes on my Alero, so i figured i would do the corvette/camaro upgrade. Problem is that no one has the caliper bracket. GM dealership doesn't. Local parts stores (shit/non-existent customer service) have 1 in all of canada. Our crappy government run auto-insurance/salvage company doesn't have it. Auto wreckers in town don't have anything newer than 1985 in their crap heaps. GM parts direct has them but won't ship to Canada. Jegs has them for $114 each + $100 shipping (just die). I already have the corvette calipers, so I can't back down now. If anyone has a set for sale, or even if you could get them somewhere and send them up to Canadatown, I would be in your debt. If you have any info on where to get them in Canada for less than $350 dollars, please let me know. Its so frustrating trying to do anything with my car when there aren't any good autoparts resources in all of Canada. Shipping from the states also takes 33% - 50% of the total cost towards shipping/border fees.

So... you need like 1998 Camaro front caliper brackets? I've never really looked into this so I don't know but I'm sure I can get some and send em north.

Edit: It's gotta be something other than that because I can get those next day for $35/each.. this sounds like it's gotta be harder to find.
Edit 2: After briefly looking at the upgrade thread, I guess those are what you need. I can ship stuff to Canada through my work pretty easily/cheaply.

I was going to suggest Rock Auto.com but you already have it covered.

I have all Camaro brakes on the front on my Alero. The Corvette calipers were too much money and I didn't find out that AutoZone carried the F Body brackets until AFTER I received my front brakes.

O well, I'm still happy with my set-up

rockauto actually didn't have any. All they offer is a rebuild service for them. I'm trying to find a good set of non crossdrilled or slotted rotors. The set I have now always sounded like a bicycle whenever I hit the brakes. I would like something that is plated or painted. Anyone know of any rotors like that?

Hmmm, that's where I bought my brakes, front and rear

For rotors, if you do not want slotted of x drilled, I suggest Bendix. Should be able to pick them up at your local auto parts store

Yeap that was my first choice, but from what I've heard MPracing is backed up with orders and some people on GrandamGT.com are getting pissed. I didn't want to risk waiting in limbo while my brakes need immediate replacement. I heard the owner just had a baby and people have had cold air intakes on order for months from him with no responses to calls or email.

Vendor out of stock indefinitely. Looks like you'll need an alternative method of acquiring these.

rofl that's how I felt haha. Looks like I might have a lead, I found a canadian website that sells the caliper and bracket together for under $100 with pads, so I could just sell the calipers and the total cost of the brackets would actually be pretty cheap. I'm phoning them tomorrow to make sure they come with the bracket.

Off topic: Can you take a picture of your car from like a front 3/4 angle with your wheels straight? Just curious on the spacers. Mine should be here next week.
