On the front I used something similar to these. I used Mr. Gasket's #3772G soft mounting clamps. The kit come with two already, but I needed two more. They mount to the top a-arm and the top of the spindle using the stock mounting locations. Hopefully that clears it up!

Ok, that's what I thought you meant. Thanks for supplying a picture too! Where'd you pick those up at? Any auto parts store should carry them I would think?

Man, my seatbelts really gotta work when I slam on my brakes!
Do you have the calipers too?

I'd be more inclined to use the ones from an autoparts store. They might use metals or coatings less prone to rusting. Then again they're probably the same damn thing.

http://www.suncorstainless.com/sscart/aboutsuncor.php

I emailed this company, They have just about evrything in Stainless. It's not all on there web site.
Maybe I can get some info on some clamps.

I also have a Totally Stainless catalog,
http://totallystainless.net/totally.html
It has evrything you can imagine. I keep posted.
