Brake mounting bracket

A brake caliper mounting bracket mountable onto a trailing arm or a knuckle of a vehicle, the bracket comprising:

• first, second, and third bracket mounting holes through which the bracket is configured to be mounted to the trailing arm or the knuckle;
• first and second caliper mounting holes through which a brake caliper is configured to be mounted to the bracket, wherein
• the first and second bracket mounting holes are adjacent,
• the third bracket mounting hole is not adjacent to the first bracket mounting hole and not adjacent to the second bracket mounting hole, and
• the first and second caliper mounting holes are configured to align with first and second mounting holes of the brake caliper;
• and
• a boss surrounding the first bracket mounting hole and extending from a surface of the bracket;
• and
• a recessed surface onto which the trailing arm is configured to sit flush.

A method of installing brake caliper mounting bracket onto a trailing arm or a knuckle in a vehicle, comprising:

• removing a parking brake assembly of the vehicle, wherein
• the parking brake assembly comprises a handbrake cable disposed within a bore of the trailing arm or the knuckle;
• and
• attaching the brake caliper mounting bracket to the trailing arm or the knuckle by inserting a fastener through the bore of the trailing arm or the knuckle and threading the fastener into a threaded bore of the brake caliper mounting bracket.
