Anybody ever come up with a supplier for the brackets? Was sluppy able to get a price? I'd really like to start getting all the parts together for this job, but the brackets are the lynch pin.

Interested also...sluppy?

Hey Kohburn, I tried to download your dxf files so that I could view them with my autocad 14, but they would only download as HTML files with nothing but #'s & letters?? Can you help?? I want to see about having those brackets made.

DANG!!! I called http://www.ssbrakes.com/brakeproducts/brakecalipers/sportR1/ today, they want 479.00 per pair front and 749.00 per pair rear!!! Not easy on the wallet!


Thanks a ton

BTW when having the front fiero rotor cut down, do you need to also shave off the front side a little to make up the difference in width for the LeBaron rotor?

I havn't heard of anyone doing that. It definetly isn't thick enough to account for the width of the LeBaron rotor and maintain a good press fit on the wheel studs. I just found a set of rims which minimised the effect with their offset but obviously that won't be an option for everyone.

Thanks alot for the info.

DO NOT do this. You will compromise the strength of the hub. Leave the wheel mounting surface alone and just part off the rotor.

How are these guys for brake conversion http://dwayne9.addr.com/fiero.html RCC Specialties

There are only so many ways to skin a cat. If it uses LeBaron rotors, then it's the same thing... Dunno what calipers they use, though.

The price for 11" front and rear is $1260. They claim to use GM calipers and American made rotors and Fiero e-brake cables.

" DRIVE IT LIKE YOU LOVE IT"

I meant that I don't know whether they use Camaro calipers or Blazer/Caddy calipers or what...

I am currently working on a supplier for these brackets. They are in Birdsboro, Pa. and the guy I talked to at the Strausstown show said they could laser cut them for about $25 to $30 bucks each, depending on what material is chosen. I am e-mailing them the down-load links from this thread and hope they can read them with their software. This guy said it should be no problem.....we'll see.

HELP!!!!!
I have been trying to get my AutoCad 2007 to open these files and I keep getting an error message:
"Incomplete or incorrect DXF input" any ideas? I really would like to get a hardcopy of these drawings (front adaptor, rear adaptor-2 and -3) so I can discuss these with the place that will laser cut them for me. Can one of you guys e-mail me the .dxf files? Maybe there is someting that gets deleted when trying to download from the site. I am still going to have my contact try to download from the site and see what happens. Thanks in advance.

Do you have a fax number ? I could fax the cad drawings to you.

Thanks Godfather. The fax number is (610) 317-0734 and my e-mail addy is rjblaze@verizon.net. This would be a great help. Are they actual size pics?

Yeah their full size. I'll get them over to you sometime today.

Hey RJ , I could not open them with autocad 14!!

I need those drawings too.


RUNDLC

rjblaze - Let me know if you got the fax. Sorry it was so late.

Joe

Hello guy's, anyone selling those braquet, I'll be interesting from the one that Will show and the other from Kohburn.

Thank's.

rjblazer you have an email. I have opened these so I know they work.

Kohburn, you have a PM. Thanks,

Arn

Godfather: Thanks a bunch! They came out great! I am faxing these to my manufacturer along with e-mailing them the DXF files that I am hopefully getting from Kohburn or PTFiero.

Superdave: I'll let you know what my manufacturer says about cost and time-line.

PTFiero: My e-mail address is rjblaze@verizon.net. If you are sending me the files, please send each one in a separate e-mail because it will be easier to separate them for me.......Thanks in advance!

Any one interested in purchasing a comlete set please p.m. me so that I can get a count together. Usually the more that is ordered the cheaper they get! I will let all know about the response from my manufacturer.

I have sent 3 emails. The first email has both files. The last two have each file seperate. I would be interested in a set.

Send me an email/PM when you get bracket info from the manufacturer.

I'm interested.

Put me down for a set rjblaze . I want to upgrade the brakes on my gt when its time for new brakes.

I'm interested as well.

Thanks PTFiero, I'll check them out when I get home.

To anyone who wants a set, please indicate which rear brackets you want. There is version 2 with the 10 deg. caliper offset and version 3 (untried) with the 5 degree offset. I am going to have one set of version 3 made for myself (along with the fronts and version 2 rears) to try them out. Anybody else try version 3 yet?

I'm looking to see if there are brackets for the Caddy calipers on Grand Am rotors. Anybody?

Arn

I made brackets to use the Grand Am Calipers on the LeBaron rotors. Is that close enough?

you don't use cadilac calipers on crand am rotors -- you use them on lebaron rotors (15-17$ each)

and if anybody is interested i am looking into the possability of making the brackets. i should be able to sell em for about 200$ a set but i want to that the revised rear design works before i start selling them.

quote Originally posted by doublec4: I went back to the place I bought the calipers, they had some others in stock and none of them had the bracket I need. Where did the rest of you guys get your guide bracket things from?

bought my calipers from rock auto and they came with all the hardware needed

Thanks PTFiero and Kohburn,
I have all three CAD files and could open them. Now I can send them off to my contact to get pricing for these adapters. I'll let you all know as soon as I get a response.

I'm in for a set.

I tried to download the CAD files both ways, and they will only download for me as HTML.

Any tips?

Arn

Hey could I get a copy of the Cad drawing for the brackets?

My e-mail is rmb@usa.net

Thank you!

well if 10 people are interested i can get them cut and chrome plated for about 60$ each (240$+shipping and zero profit) cost of metals keeps going up - darn China industrial revolution

How much unplated?

saves about 20$ per set but then you have to atleast paint them to prevent rust
