The BJ8 spindles do not use "brackets". The caliper mounts are an integral
part of the BJ8 spindle.

Would the caliper brackets from a BJ8 fit the earlier spindle?

early 3000 calipers (type 14) have a distance of 3-1/4" between the mounting
hole centers. The BJ8 calipers (type 16) are 3-1/2" center to center.
Having said that, one could plug the holes on the early 3000 caliper mounting
brackets, re-drill and tap the brackets for the BJ8 spacing. The early and
late rotors are the same diameter but the BJ8 rotors are 1/2' thick while the
early rotors are only 3/8" thick.
