I believe these are made for 87 fieros. Probably for a 12 inch rotor. No idea if they are front or back or what the smaller brackets are for. I have a couple rings also. I probably ordered these ten years ago and can't remember anything about them.
I am hoping to find who made them to get an explanation on how they mount and their specifics.
I am pretty sure those are the brackets to use 12" C4 rotors on an 84-87 Fiero with the C4 Vette calipers front & rear. Here is a thread with a lot more detail. //www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/063914.html

Here is the thread that I used for doing my ebrake setup. You have to order the cables individually and they both cost about $20. I think my grand total on amazon was $42. The two cables will need very slight work done on them. The weight is a ball weight that I split with a dremel and cold chisel. Each weight takes 2-3 minutes. Then the eye needs to be opened up ever so slightly. On the inside of it are a couple of casting lines that are slightly raised. I simple filed those down with a small file and that was sufficient. Other than that the entire thing goes together in probably 20-30 minutes. Longest thing for me was getting the old Fiero lines out as they were pinched into place. I think this car has been rear ended or backed into something at some point in it's life.
I already have vette rotors and calipers in the front of my 87 North Star and wish to install the rears now but I don't know where the concentric rings have gotten to. His web site does not look like he maintains it and there is no contact info.
Anyone know who has the rings of how to get in touch with Cheetah? I'd rather buy them then go have them made.

Do you have a build thread on this? How long before it is on the road? I love build threads.

No build thread. I'm not really organized enough to do that.
The car is on the road. It has lebaron brakes on it now and in my opinion they work ok but not for 300 plus HP car or the way I'll drive it(on the track of course).

85E but Ryan Hess set it up with paddle shifters that I am not really that fond of. I think what I am going to do is find or make a steering wheel with shift buttons that I can use as a manual or switch to automatic on demand.

I have thought about paddle shifting mine but never did it. I would need to switch the programing over to a GXP and change the value body in the trans. I planned on a shift kit too, but never got around to it. The paddle shifts that I have driven did not stay in gear, that infinitely frustrated me. They would up shift close to red line, I don't want it to automatically shift like that. I want to shift it myself when I feel like shifting it. I feel like the paddle shifting was made for driver control, not just to be a standard auto.

Ryan has the trans set up well. The shifts are steady. Once I get to setting it up the way I want it I am going to have to give him a call just to figure it out. I'm not going to want it to shift quite as hard as it does now. Right now it is solid as a manual without the clutch delay time between shifts. That's pretty great for track use but I intend on making the car streetable as well. A happy medium must be found.
I'll get some pics this week as I do the suspension,drop spindles and brakes.

Does it already have a shift kit? The programming will allow for some adjustments, but not that much.
