here's a link to sky mfg.
https://www.4wdfactory.com/store/pro...-Brake-bracket
their bracket is for use with GM calipers but it will give you an idea on a place to start for fab-ing your own brackets for the MR2 calipers.
https://www.4wdfactory.com/store/pro...-Calipers.html
this link claims to include the cable brackets but there is no pic of the cable attached to the caliper that I can see.
Checked Sky's own website no pics of cable bracket and say they are not supplying e-brake calipers [at least as far as I can tell].

I found these on ebay thought you'd be interested http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Rear-Disc-Bra...c7f001&vxp=mtr

yeah, except i'm not gonna pay $80+ for a pair of steel plates
haha
i'm going to make my own using a cardboard template and a sheet of scrap steel, so all materials included, it should be close to ~$20

i need to measure and stuff. a pre-fabbed one would be ideal, but i'm not sure on caliper mounting spacing and disc measurements. i'll probably make up a cardboard bracket and measure that against what's on the market

found some 4xi tube doors for a decent price. they just need a bit of paint and some mirrors. those should get here mid-next week.
and today i'm helping 4ever4running install his front bumper. so i set up a webcam hosted on my own server:

X2. Hinge pin doors would be nice. I was gonna buy a set of door from the u pull it but they now want 75$ a door plus a 25$ core! Crazy

there's a much easier and cheaper way to do removable doors:

not a problem. glad to see you got the fairlead on; looks slick! i still have to upload my pictures, i'll post 'em on your thread when i do. so while i did that on saturday, i re-wired my truck a bit on sunday. i put my hella's back on and did a 100% better job than before, and the difference is incredible; faster turn-on and brighter. i also rewired my aux-box for switched power instead of the switched ground i had before. it makes wiring the rest of the truck so much easier. and the old solenoid was on it's final legs. that's what i get for ordering off of amazon (the ebay replacement is much nicer
). lastly i added a large engine ground cable, which seems to work nicely, as in quicker starting and higher alternator idle output.

but of course 
yup, just missing a tab (not hard to add)
darn right! i'ma get some of that self-etching primer, too.
i can't wait to put them on. i'll wait until i have the right tools, though. the only thing i want to modify a bit are the latches. right now, they aren't slam-shut, so i was either thinking of buying some universal latches (less than $30 on ebay) or modify the existing ones like this:

there will be a spring attached to the eyelet at the bottom
