Bubba, you have a PM.

Kris

Hey Bubba, you should bring it over to Square One this weekend... https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/039998.html Probably wishful thinking, but still...

Brad

I have the OK from Bubba to have the brake brackets made and to sell them. I will get w/ my brother this weekend, and get some made. They shouldn't be too expensive. I will only charge for materials, and a bit to make it worth his time. As Bubba requested, I won't try to get rich from them. I will post once more here with the link to the mall thread. Bubbajoe, I need the drawings for the rear brackets if you have them.

Thanks,
Kris

will take off a rear bracket tomorrow and redraw it for you OK

Did you hit a BUMP in the road with the rear caliper mount and ring drawings?

Sounds LOUD! You're going to have problems sneeking up on anyone . I would love to hear the motor winding up to about 7,000 RPM. Please, post a sound bite when get one of those.

Congratulation,
Roy

AAAAHHHH! It's another BUMP!!! Stupid potholes!

I'm currently doing this swap on a 87 GT using 86 front calipers and 88-96 rear calipers. I'm curious how you managed to get a 88vette rotor to fit on the rear without using a spacer behind the rotor? I had to make a integrated spacer/consentric that moved the rotor .170" away from the bearing.

Without the spacer the rotor will hit the areas circled in yellow below-

Maroon 87' GT- 355 TPI V8, 5-speed

Brian are you going to make these kits for front and rear?

[This message has been edited by Master Tuner Akimoto (edited 05-30-2004).]

if you use 88 rear rotors as per the part numbers I posted they do not need a spacer at all they do not hit any where as the rear rottors are shorter in the hat area

sluppy123
from your pics you are using front rotors on the rear. You should be using rears and your adapter would be only 5/16 thick rear rotors have 2 extra holes in them near the outer edge for ebrake ajustment when used with internal brum ebrake as in the pic provided

[This message has been edited by bubbajoexxx (edited 05-30-2004).]

I now understand why i needed a spacer, I chose to use front rotors on all four corners.

Regardless if it's a front or rear vette rotor the thickness of the adapter does not matter.

Also a note to anyone using the 88+ rear calipers, I don't see any way of using the stock e-brake cables, they are too short. I'm having to make custom cables.

the caliper bracket you see on my rotor is an 88 bracket and it is the same one you use to hold your caliper on as the 84 to 87 brackets are nolonger avalable from gm you have to use the 88 one on the rear

You know, this is one body kit that could use the spare GT lower front valance cut off and flipped over to make a bigger air dam up front. It would balance out the front to back wedge look.
I noticed the GT side skirts are missing.

in this pic you can see I have stretched all of the areo and trim parts but the rocker cover still looking fo spair pieces to make them up

Sluppy, is it possible to rotate the caliper by moving the caliper mounting holes so the cables reach???

where do you put the 132 degree angel at? not 100% clear on that part, thanks.

I think he means for you to do is to camfer the inside edge on one side so it will fit snuggly againts the flange. If you look at your flange, you'll notice that the transition between the hub and the flange is rounded. If you don't camfer the ring it won't fit flush.

Roy

I think the fastback clip would make the stretch less noticable. Have you given any thought to that Bubba? I dont like the wagon look but, to each his own. BTW awsome work on that swap... reminds me of the Binford Fiero I saw at Carlisle.
