Hey Steve and I are out here plugging away in the rain sorting out the cradle and its bits, and we have come across the issue with the brake rotors hitting the metal parts of this upgraded hub mount thingy. We need to know who made it and is there a spacer that goes behind the Corvette rotor to keep it from rubbing on the black part shown in the pic. Also, the rotors are not drilled all that great and have a bit of a out of whack with the wheel studs but I am sure we can just clearance the holes a bit to address that. Here are the pics Identify what the heck kind of brackets these are???

No idea where the brackets came from, but the rear wheel bearing is 1.65" thick and the front C4 12" rotor is 1.903" deep (inside hat to inboard rotor face). I don't have a rear one to measure right now, but assuming the same hat thickness, it would be 1.673". If the hat is thicker on the rear rotor, then it might fit.

That adapter plate might also cause CV housing interference with the backside of the upright as well, so it would be worth throwing an axle in it to make sure there aren't other issues.

What size wheels are planned? If they are 17" or larger, I will donate the hardware for my 13" kit - so the only additional cost would be the rotors. It uses the stock 88 calipers and parking brake cables.

Cool If I remember right the wheels are 18's so that would work. I think we have the rotors already I will go take pic and measure them.

The wheels are 18's but I am pretty sure the rotors are 12 inch. here are a few pics

Those look a lot like someones version of the old HT Motorsports 12" brake brackets (using Wilwood Dynalite calipers and Wilwood Rotors & Hats) for the 88's. I looked at pictures of my Ryan/Held Motorsports versions for the 84-87, and they are different, but similar. There is the spot for the Wilwood mechanical spot caliper (parking brake at top) and separate braking caliper (towards the rear).

We sell the 12 inch rotors, get the 13 inch ones and take up fieroguru on his offer! and it is the easiest and you dont need to buy calipers then we just use the ones we already have!
