Default Tickford brake upgrade

Hey guys, after some info on the adapter Bracket to fit the tickford brakes to a auII xr8.
I'm aware that ford no longer carry it, need to know the dimensions of the plate and the placement of the holes.
I have a kit off a TS50 with everything else, just missing the bracket.
Anyone found some where that can supply new brakets?
Below are some photos of the gap between the upright and the caliper bracket.

I'd try Race brakes Sydney (site sponsor) http://www.racebrakes.com.au/

or Cebco brakes (in Melbourne) http://www.cebcobrakes.com.au/

I remember ShayneT (can't remember his new username) was telling me he had a mate looking into these. Turned out that no one stocked or supplied them and that it was a pricey job to get them fabbed up.

That would be FTe342, should have changed it to GrandpaT but anyway

When I was investigating brake upgrades fro my ute, RDA offered a package that looked virtually indentical to the T-Series package. The calipers looked exactly the same and I believe the rotors were the same size too. I never looked at them physically, just relied on the internet pictures, but nevertheless they looked the same. They may be able to help you out.

FTG was where I purchased my brake kit from, but I doubt they would sell you the brackets on their own. However I'm sure they would provide the dimensions for you.

I looked on the RDA website, but they didn't feature any links for the kits.
