this is killing me!!my 88r had a 85atc swingarm on it and i wanted the 88-89 one.i bought one and realised the carrier,axle,and brake stay was wrong.i bought a new carrier,used axle,and 2 set's of brake stay's.the axle is shot and bent and both brake stay's are wrong!!!the caliper bracket also doesn't work.i bought a new lsr axle for it and just want to get it together!!!i need the right brake stay and caliper bracket.soo far i am out $175.00 for wrong bent stuff.does anyone have the wright brake stay and caliper bracket?

Sounds like you need to find the correct brake caliper bracket. They same caliper off of the 85 setup will work just need the matching bracket for the updated brake stay.

more photos,

so now you have a 250r carrier, and 250r brake stay and it still doesn't fit. i think your swinger maybe a 450r

take some more photos

I have a carrier if you want it...just pay shipping. No brake parts tho...
And if it takes the same bearings as a 450...I have bearings you can have also...

The bearing carrier is essentially a cam. Its that way for your chain adjustment.
Do you have it turned too far forward or backward? if so that would put that front bolt hole on the bracket too low to get the bolt in.

i understand but the stay "stay's"in one spot.it doesn't move when you adjust the chain.

Well it should raise and lower the bolt holes as you roll the carrier forward and backward. That is the reason for the bushing with the 2 mill flats that is on your swingarm and the carrier goes over when properly mounted. The carrier slides forward and back, but also up and down. Try taking off the 88-89 brake stay and rolling the carrier 180 degrees, then remount the brake stay. See if that works.

where the brake stay goes is straight with the axle.yes the carrier does go up and down,as well as froward and back but the stay doesn't moveup and down.the cam part it on the carier to housing{swingarm}part.

you rotate the carrier and it pushes the bolt holes up and down, the second picture on the original post looks about right
