I'm wondering if anyone has the full set of measurements for the caliper spacers on Guru's big brake upgrade. I'm trying to do the upgrade on a tight budget and I know someone who owns a machine shop so I can have all the machining done I just need the measurements. Although before I receive any measurements I would like Guru's permission to make myself a set I just don't know how to contact him directly.
Part designs like this are not protected by copyright, so while you could do a rip-off of fieroguru's stuff, it would be in better taste for you and your machine shop friend to come up with your own drawings, perhaps inspired by fieroguru.

I'm aware there are no copyrights for these designs and this is why I simply am asking for measurements. I'll be designing my own piece based on his design.

If you are trying to use my parts on a budget, you could purchase the Hardware Only kit. Then you can source the rotors and drill them yourself. That saves $325 off the price of the kit.

I'm new to this type of thing so I don't know what is considered "Taboo" in this circle, I truly do apologize if I offended anyone or ruffled anyone's feathers. I was not intending to steal anyone's intellectual property or anything of that sort.
It's fine to come up with your own design for anything, but not to directly copy someone else's work. Figure out the solution to a problem, market it, sell it - that is what made this country.

Other cars such as the Corvette, that are cookie cutter, disposable cars, have junk parts made all over the place so when you order a cheap brake kit on Ebay from China, those guys share the specs on their forum because it doesn't hurt anyone. Here, people like Guru engineer the parts to fit perfectly and he does it on his own spare time, then he sells them when they are perfect and ready for market. Almost every custom part for a Fiero is created by a Fiero owner, not a generic company so yes, sharing measurements and specs of a custom part is a little "off color" in the community especially when the manufacturer is still selling the parts. The same goes for Rodney Dickman and West Coast Fiero. They are Fiero owners first and product development second. Anyway, welcome to the world of the Fiero.

It's just a Fiero...it's just some bracket measurements.
Then again, some people wont even share a recipe.
If he takes his own measurements and produces his own brackets - no problem. Otherwise, he is just ripping guru off. Save up your money, or learn how to draw and measure.
