We should do a group buy for all the machined parts(adpaters)! Anyone have a connection at a machine shop that can give us a good price? I would buy a set!

Yes, it cleared some 16" wheels. Each wheel is made differently so it will depend on that wheel, ALL 17" wheels should clear no problem.

I bought my brackets from Sluppy123 here on the forum. I don't know if he is still making them, but he was machining them at his personal shop. He also sold me brackets for the 11.25" swap, which he also might no longer be selling... You can try contacting him for more info....

Just bought a set from Sluppy123 myself, great deal and the parts looks awesome. He told me he has 3 sets left and then it will be a while before he gets more done.

I hope I just didn't miss this but are all 4 of the caliper brackets the same? The fronts didin't show a part number. Could you clear this up for me? Thanks

The rears are different than the fronts. I don't have the exact part number off hand, and so I haven't posted it yet. The parts were ordered directly from Arts Corvette and when I told him what I needed, he knew what I was referring to, and sent the correct parts. I'll admit I've been kinda lazy lately as far as looking this info up. I'll dig it up and besure to come back and edit the original post.

im actually in the process of doing the fronts on my car now as we speak . have been hopeing to find some good pics of the e-brake set-up . i took the specks off of bubba joes site and had a local tech school make the brackets and concentric rings for $100. paid 200 for the calipers with rotors and brackets. got new bearings for $40 , so for all those thinking about doing this you can do the swap cheaper than what has been listed. next get brake pads and drill my rotors and the fronts will be done . ------------------
