I am looking for caliper mounting brackets for stock disc brake spindles for the 73-74 e body. Are there specific part numbers I should look for? Is there a left and right side bracket? Thanks for any help, John.

There is no left and right bracket.
They are all the same thing, side to side.
Numbers cast in them won't mean anything to you, or me.
They meant something at the foundry, but thats all.
Mounts for the standard 10.8 inch rotors are common, and pretty easy to find, and buy.
There are some differences in mounts between early 70's and mid to later 70's, but i never ran into any problems, mounting calipers.

Wrong.
That's incorrect information.
73-76 A body cars use "Slider" type calipers.
70-74 E body cars use "Pin Type" calipers.
And then caliper mounts are different between the caliper designs.

Thank you for the help with the information and pictures. I always wondered if the left and right brackets were the same. John.
