It looks like we are getting to the point of needing another bracket run. So far I have several requests for more sets. If ANYONE is still interested in ordering a set of brackets, please PM me with your order to help me keep track and I will add your name to the NEW list.
I fell off the face of the Earth for a little while and am just now trying to get caught up.
Has anyone installed the 10 degree kit on the rears? How did it work for locating the parking brake?
I'm scratching the pennies together now to order a kit.
rjblaze - thanks for doing this! I know what a PITA doing this kind of thing can be. You've got a plus from me

As far as I have seen, this re-design (10 degree) of the Zettner brackets solves the e-brake clearance issue. The was another update (5 degree) to help eliminate trimming of the inboard pad that the 10 degree needs. I have not really gooten any pro's or con's to either set.

p.s. I got your e-mail, but I too have been away from the forum for a little bit. The more freinds you have interested, the better. I need to make that 10 set order minimum or my machinist can't (orders from superiors) get them done.

Thanks! Next Wednesday is the club meeting... I'll see if I can't get some more people onboard.

I'm considering these brackets very seriously. But I am also seriously lost trying to navigate the threads associated with this install.
I get that I'll need s10/blazer/seville calipers on front and 85 Seville Calipers for the rears to keep my EBrake, also 4 rear 94 LaBaron Rotors?
I can use my existing lines, MC, hubs, spindles, 15" GT wheels...etc? But upgrades recommended.
No machining required? Other than these adaptors and the bolts to attach them I'll just NEED the calipers and rotors?
Is this correct?
You have most of this right....you need the cadillac front and rear calipers, the four REAR Lebaron rotors, your lines, your front rotors machined to make hubs, and a larger MC (due to larger caliper pistons), four front spacers + bolts, and four rear spacers (1/2" ID steel washers) + bolts. There is a rather comprehensive list earlier in this thread and Will's original thread of almost the exact same name. Remember, this only works on '84 thru '87 model years and will NOT work on '88's.

I'm pretty sure I want a set of brackets but I've scanned the thread and I don't see the price. Please post the price one more time. Thanks, Indydriver in L.A.

Bob, Please put me on the list for the next run of brackets. Price is very fair. My only problem right now is deciding if I want 5 degree, 10 degree, or no degree. I've still got to read this entire thread to figure that out. And my internet access at home is out temporarily so I have to do my internet stuff from work (BIG NO-NO!). Hopefully it I'll be back online by this weekend. You have a PM. indydriver in L.A.

I'm still in. Sorry I'm changing jobs so I've been preoccupied. I'm back and I'm in for a standard set of brackets.

If anyone is interested I have a brand new set of these brackets that I purchased from a group buy a few months back that I would be willing to sell. Planned on putting them on my 85, but never got around to it. I am now just going to have an 88, so they will not work. PM me if anyone is interested.

I added this list here to be sure these particular people still are interested. I do need a total of ten sets ordered to be able to place my order with the machinist.
Thanks
Bob
I thought I would show the updated list. Please be sure I have everything correct and that if your name is here that you are still interested. I will be PMing everyone to be sure of their interest. Please, if you changed your mind or are not interested anymore, PM me a.s.a.p. I have one person listed above willing to buy a couple sets to help this get rolling.
Thanks Bob

Any word on our headcount? Looks to me like we've got eight. Nine if one of us buys two sets.
Are we waiting on one more?

Actually with OneredFiero it looks like nine sets.....I am going to call my machinist on Monday and get us set up for this next run.....I am sure that I will be able to sell the 10th set (let's try that first before someone buys a second set, unless you really want/need it....don't want someone to waste their money). When I get the order confirmed, I will post my address for both money orders and for Paypal. It appears that everyone in from the continental US, so I won't need to figure any special shipping charges....all will be flat-rate 2-3 day priority.
