84-87 12" Corvette Brake Swap... (Page 16/28) RUNDLC MAR 29, 01:22 PM Well here is a small update for those of you who intend to use the 67-80 corvette m.c. I originally bought a Napa reman m.c. part no. 10-1749, the fiero would not bolt to it. I took the lines and m.c. back to napa, the guy pulled out a new m.c. and bam, the fiero lines bolted right up. The part no is Napa 39052. of course it was another 48.00 My advice is take your lines with you when you want to buy the darn thing.

Chris_72 APR 20, 05:46 PM Bump ... typhoon APR 20, 10:09 PM Here's an update. Been almost 2 months and I got parts from Cheetah but they were made wrong. I returned them and have not heard from Cheetah. I think I got screwed. Anyone else get the brackets from Cheetah yet??? bobm APR 25, 10:07 PM I have the same problem. The guy is impossible to contact. I did get my brackets and the holes didn't line up on one set, I forget wether it's front or back right now. I tried to contact him with no luck at all. If you ever get anywhere with this please let me know. Good Luck, Bob Luke APR 26, 09:02 AM I am in the process of designing brackets to use the 88 vette front calipers and have been shopping various machine shops in my area as a cost study. I talked to one that deals exclusively with aluminum machining (for motorcycles mainly) and he was mildly comfortable with making the front bracket out of 6061 aluminum and thought the rear was too thin to make out of alum. He was also worried that since aluminum expands at 5 times the rate of steel concentric rings made out of it would stick unless you waited for the rotor to be absolutely cool. Even then you have your rotor being hub centric using 2 differing metals. I'm thinking of making the brackets in steel only since I'm not sure how safe using a thin aluminum bracket is. What is everyones opinion on this and those that have used the aluminum adapters, how have you found them and has there been any warpage? Luke APR 28, 12:03 PM Update: Got word from my machine shop that it is cost effective to produce these brackets if I get them in large enough Quantities. I will be making them in steel, it has a better tensile strength and I will feel much safer that way. I will be prototyping/ machining the front 88 dual piston caliper brackets and testing them out this month. If all goes well in the fitment and test drive department I should be making these along with concentric rings available for purchase in a month or so. daniel87fierogt APR 28, 06:22 PM Luke, I really hope you go through with this because i definitely want the twin piston vette calipers. Then you can use the calipers all the way around from the same year vette instead of mixing and matching years like the old setup. Just let me know when your ready to accept money. Thanks Daniel 1986GTV8 MAY 12, 01:23 PM I had the same problem with Cheeta. It took quite some time to get the parts, then none of the hole aligned in any configuration. I am just going to make my own adaptors in wood & transfer to metal from there. Sad that it has come to this.
