Hi steve,Did the calipers (Girling i presume since your car is exactly like mine a 1990 740 GL Regina) come with the mounting brackets from Fcp groton.
I ask this cos I am also having problems with torn rubber boots and stuck pins twice(lubed and replaced) and i am thinking of getting new rebuilt calipers from fcpgroton.
BUT i bought two 287mm(11.5 in)ATE rotors thinking that i will increase my stock 262mm(10.5) rotors so I need bigger MOUNTING BRACKETS.
I asked eeuroparts and they said they do come with the mounting brackets.
Worldpac does not guarantee bracket size though.
thanks for the info
Tom

I have Girling caliper holding brackets (with good boots) for the Big brakes. Message me directly if you need them.

For the life of me, I do not recall. I was in near-trauma over the brake lines and the calipers were the least of my problems. The pins, boots, etc. were all new and the calipers were ready to install. I do know they were direct drop-ins, so if you need a bigger bracket for larger rotors, the junkyard is your next stop. See the FAQ section on jumbo brake upgrades.
