I will update this first post with updates and order status.

Great! I've had the calipers, bridges and rotors for about 2 years now.... But, I really hate to sound like a broken record....this will be the 7th time someone has said they would make them... I really hope you come thru! -Jason

Ok I've ordered supplies for the consentric rings and brackets. I will machine up the rings and ship them out first then move on to the brackets. I will post when ready, about a week for the rings.
Thanks, Vince

I'm interested. What other custom parts are needed for this swap onto a pre 88 and where can i get them? That thread linked at top that was supposed to “clarify the swap” although very helpful, seems to breezes over a few of the mods, has a few this worked for me but not me and is a little old so some links are dead. Is there a better or possibly more up to date “how to” that is out there somewhere?
Edit to clarify

I will most likely machine the brackets and the front hubs, but I'm to busy right now to do them. I think I will do it this winter a good winter project. It's not a hard conversion and has been posted many times on the net and forums.

I have rings instock ready for shipping. See first post for payment info and updates.
Thanks,
Vince
cool...The rotors I have are tapered on the backside of the hat so the rings need to be thick enough. I currently have some rings that arent thick enough. Just wondering if you have accounted for that before I order, thanks

I have not have any problems yet, I have checked them with all the local parts stores in my area before I put them up for sale. They are 1/4" thick if you need a different thickness I can make you a custom set at the same cost.

OK I will measure and get back to you. Currently I am just running 12 in C4 rotors up front due to the fact that I have to stack 2 rings together to get the appropriate thickness which leave me none for the back.

Vince, i have a question...do you make these yourself? if you do, would it be possible to make the front two rings about 3/4" long and the rears the regular length. this would enable me to use hubcentric rings on my rims too. i have an 87 gt and the front hub is almost non existant when the rotors are instaled. a longer front rotor ring would allow hubcentric rings to be used in the rim. thanks al oops i just realized this is for the pre 88 vette rotors and i think the rotors i need are for the 88 and later 12" vette rotor. well do you make those too?

I do all my own work in house, so I could make them what ever size you want them. I just need the specs you want them. The cost may change do to size and machine time.
Thanks,
Vince

cool, i'll see if i can find out the hub diameter of the 88 and newer 12" vette rotors and i think the hub diameter for the 87 fiero is like 57.1 mm. i think just under 3/4" long for the fronts would be more than enough. i'll see what i can find out about the rotors. thanks al

This front ring set will center the wheel as well as the rotor, I machined them up per ace5514 specs, nice design Al
