Also, I posted pics of the wilwood caliper as a possible e-brake solution since that's what I bought back in the day.

What I meant was having the rear caliper positioned like the rear caliper on the Dodge Charger.

Anyhow, I'm done. I'm interested to see CTblack240's ideas for rear calipers.

Fair enough. No one offers brackets for the rears because no one has done them properly yet. If I had the free time and/or wasn't still in grad school, I would do it.
As for the charger setup, that will not work due to the rear link in the way. The only way to fit this by repositioning the calis is by either welding on new mounting ears or drilling into the body of the upright with your own sort of mounting ears, on the lower side of the upright towards the rear of the car. You have the right idea though. Someone I know is either in the process of doing this, or already has done this. But still is a lot of work to get a cali and rotor to work. At that point, I would just find a radial-mount aftermarket caliper and a floating rotor setup to get to work in the stock position with very minimal bracket fabbing, which again, would be something I would do if I had the time.
