I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A MACHINE SHOP TO MAKE THESE BRACKETS FOR THE 12" FRON CORVETTE ROTORS ON AN 1988 FIERO AND i GO PICK THEM UP TOMORROW IF THEY WORK HE SAID THAT HE COULD MAKE MORE. DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT A SET PLEASE LET ME KNOW. tHANKS HERE IS THE THREAD.. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/113524.html
which bracket are you making? I ask because in that other thread the "fieroaddiction style" bracket Fieroguru shows was my design. Or at least that's my CAD drawing and I just guessed on those dimensions. I was going to have my buddy make a set for me and see how they fit and adjust the drawing/bracket from there. He hasn't made them yet so i don't know if they will work.
Got the brackets installed and they work great.I have awsome braking power now. I will get some pictures up of the install soon. The only problem is price . You are looking at 250$ for 4 brackets or if I order 5 sets at a time I can get them for 200$ a set. I have never delt with this shop before and did not realize that they was so expensive. My main shop that I normally go to has not had time to make a set yet, But I know they will not be that expensive. Only thing is he is very slow at getting things done. So if you are not in a hurry I could get them cheaper. thanks Lonnie

any way these could be adapted to use 88 calipers on and 87? i know someone used to mak a kit for this but no more. i was thinking of trying 88 calipers on an 87 or earlier with lebaron rotors (no drilling the holes in the rotors and no hubcentric rings needed). just a thought and a bump. al

That price seems ALLOT more appealing!
Question: why not make the brackets for the 13" Viper rotors? Seems like the Viper rotors have the proper (or better) off-set and do not interfere w/ the lower A-Arm...

count me in for a set at 105.00 i will see if i can adapt these to an 87 or at least use them as a template. if i cant use them i can always try to sell them. al

I just bought new slotted/drilled/vented stock rotors for my 88gt Wonder if my 500mile rotors have any value, I would love to go larger to fill my 17" wheel better
BTW, I searched ebay for 88-94 vette rotors, all the ones they had pictures of look thicker then the ones pictured above...
make sure they are the 12' rotor. becouse they do have 13' rotors for the same years. thanks lonnie
