Hey everyone

Looking for a set of Corvette Caliper brackets to adapt to the fiero, as well as the concentric rings.

I am going to begin scavenging for this upgrade.

Thank you!

Matthew

Looking for this also, last thread that said they would make them, went bust 84-87 brackets needed. -Jason

Yep im still wanting them also. Luke here on the forum said he was going to be making them but i havent seen anything yet. I will probably just end up buying the brackets and rings from west coast fiero.

I need two 88 rears
as I am useing a 88 cradle swap

I have the fronts

------------------
Question wonder and be wierd
are you kind?

Hmm, makes me wonder why I bought four complete sets when I got the chance. Nope, all mine. Stored in a safe place.

Are you trying to rub it in?

What exactly are the concentric rings for anyways?

Centering the rotor.

I can tell you were NOT to buy them. PM me for the story.

I need them for my 88 too! I have all the vette rotors and calipers sitting in my garage........

Hmmm I bet I have a set from the same place.

I got a full 12" set for my '85 from a place I can't recommend either.
When I did my 88 cradle swap, I got Dwayne to make me the adapters for the rear. Try contacting him at RCC Specialty.

Can somebody just follow thru with making these dang thing? I had my calipers for about two years now..each time someone says they are going to make them they fall thru. -Jason

Wow! I killed this thread fast............

has anyone found a source for the alloy bit that holds the calipers to the bracket?
is there a repro out there somewhere?
or are junked vetts the ONLY SOURCE??
has GM run out of this part??

btw are they the same front and rear [the adpter made by chevy to hold the caliper]
not the fiero custom made hub to chevy brackets

anyway I need two vett brackets made by GM
but nolonger need the custom 88 rears to hub part

EDIT OTHERS ARE CALLING THIS PART THE BASKET

I have a bracket set but have problems to find corvette brakes to the right price here in sweden.
So I might sell them. Question is what I get for them and what the shipping cost would be.
My set are made of aluminium. inkl. the rings.

I think I will change to Volvo R brakes. Better price in sweden...

Ray I think you're referring to the abutment bracket, which a lot of people refer to as the "bridge". I think most people are making phone calls to Corvette parts specialists for those brackets.

Finally got the prototype concentric rings made, dont ask how much they cost for the first one-off set , making them in bulk will be much more practical though because the machine shop now has them programmed so thats not a problem.

Now that I've got the hubs machined down and the concentric rings here I will start mocking it up. The rears should be easy because they have been done before, front we will see, I will either have them on and being tested in a few weeks or by the beginning of august at the latest. Once I'm happy that they fit well and all goes well I will start a group purchase for them.

I will keep anyone that is interested updated on this.

For the front you need 84 to 87 Vette brackets and the rears are 88 to 96 if you want the E-brake. I have several pairs of the impossible to find front brackets. $100 for just the brackets (abutments, baskets) or $200 for a set of brackets with the calipers. For extra $ I'll ship to Canada.

I have an entire set-up I'll probably be posting for sale or trade after I sell my 88 Formula. It's the WCF "kit" for all years. I'll be probably looking for (2) of the 11 and 1/4 inch set-ups for my 85 and whatever else I get (hopefully an 87GT).

I'm still very interested, I hope this one goes thru (this is for 84-87 right?). Keep us updated -Jason

local guy had ''claimed ZO6 BRAKES''
he upgraded to benbo 4 pots

they are the same as the 13'' two pots I have
I got a rear set of 12'' brakes BUT without the ''baskets'' too
these are 12'' with only one pot and drum parking brake inside
saddly I didnot get any of the parking brake bits
but am unsure if that can be used anyway on a fiero hub
looks like linelocks for me as a parking brake setup now

is anyone useing the single pot rears or know of a place to get baskets for them?

No line locks needed.
You need 88 to 96 rear calipers and brackets and you can adapt the Fiero parking brake to them. I might be able to dig up a rear pair of Vette calipers with abutments(the vette bracket, or basket as some say) $200 shipped to 48 states. Extra $ to Canada. Mount these to a pair of Cheetahs brake adapters and your all set.

Yup this will be for the 84-87 fieros... its really designing the front bracket to use the 2 piston front calipers from the same year as the rears that is holding me up. I want to make sure I can make something that fits nicely; Hopefully with no need for shims like I've heard talk about and then test drive it for a while to me sure its safe.

I allready have one set of rear calipers [1 pots] and 12" disks
and two sets of front 2 pots [4] but only one pair of baskets- plus 4 13" disks

only need a set/pair of rear 1 pot baskets or a pair of front baskets

btw the rear 1 pots look to have the exact same space between mounting bolts as the 84-87 fiero calipers do
