these are laser cut from 3/8 mild steel. these brackets come untapped. the holes are cut and ready to be tapped. the rear knuckles have to be tapped for the swap anyway, so you will already have that tap. while your doing the knuckles I recommend tapping the brackets as well at that time.

$95 shipped

** If you would like just the front or rear brackets, $60 shipped then **

I can also do powder coating for $20 extra



heres the brakes you end up with:

front:


rear:

So let me see if I got this right. You bought a set of brackets from Forced_Fierbird, now your copying them and selling them a little cheaper?

I don't know the story behind that statement, but the drawings are freely available on the forum in many different posts.

If the drawings are available for free, then no harm no foul.

Then take this scenario in to account... www.fierosails.com sells a replacement insert for the Notchie Sail Windows. I made my own insert out of black acrylic. I could easily sell them cheaper on my website than what they are sold for on www.fierosails.com . I have not done so because it would just not be morally right.

I know for a fact that the OP bought a set from Forced_Firebird. The OP bought his the same time I bought mine.

the drawing is available for anyone here: http://myfiero.oceanmoon.co...80%99s-brake-upgrade . thats what I (and apparently Others) used to make them

I paid $140 for my brackets. selling to others for $110 now... so if your interested let me know. or else keep the thread clean

Hats off for companies and members that make parts and upgrade parts available to the community at a reasonable cost.

------------------
Stefan - Fiero Miami - T-top - 88

I'm also willing to sell just the front or rear brackets, $60 shipped then.. I'll update the original post with that too

back when I bought mine I noticed some people wanted just the rears. so along with being nice and selling for less that what I paid, I will offer just fronts/rears if thats all you need.

Thank you for posting this very important link for those of us who are do-it-yourselfers! I know this forum is full of diy'ers!

I do see your point, but we live in a capitalist society...
Imagine how much it would cost to buy a refrigerator if Maytag was the only company manufacturing them?
How much would Ford charge for brake pads if no aftermarket manufacturers made comparable pads?

We also live in a free society; we each have the option to buy from whom ever we like. You (or anyone for that matter) can buy these from someone else if you do not care for the OP's business practices.

I am not intending this to turn into a debate here; just don't think its proper to give this guy a hard time for offering a product that may or may not be needed in the Fiero comunity...

edit: nvm

I for one love that more people are making parts. Once I get my tax return I will be looking into a set of brackets; car needs better brakes badly!

As long as there is not a copy right on them there is no reason why he can not make them and sell them. I am doing the same thing right know with the 88 12" brackets. I found the diagrams on how to make them and now I am selling them. No one is singling you out. If I had a 87 or older fiero I would buy them in a heart beat. What is immoral is people making this stuff and charging 10 time the cost to make them just becouse they know they are the only ones making them and selling them. just my two cents. Lonnie

For what it's worth, I tried to contact the previous "manufacturer" of these brackets and got no reply. I'm in for a set but, won't pay $$ until they are ready to ship. Guaranteed to fit?

nevermind

Great price. Unfortunately I just got mine from another source for more money.

$95 shipped for the set shown in the first post. looks like brake upgrades arent in season right now?

If you can hold out until I sell some more battery cables, I will take this deal.

quote Originally posted by Synthesis: If you can hold out until I sell some more battery cables, I will take this deal.

sounds good. even if it sells I can have another set made

sorry, forgive my stupidity but what upgrade (caliper) does this involve... grand am/corvette/labaron...

thanks

its for the cadillac seville caliper/lebaron rotor upgrade

I'm up for a set (Front & Rear). How long to receive the product from the time payment is received? And thank you for the service you are providing. I just hope this thread doesn't turn evil, wicked, mean and nasty as others have.

I can ship them out right away. should be 3 business days (USPS Priority)

You still got the set for $95? If so send me your papal info and I will take them.

quote Originally posted by sixstringretard: You still got the set for $95? If so send me your papal info and I will take them.

yes, PM'd

Please PM me with the order info. This swap will accommodate the stock rims and E-Brake cables, correct? I can follow the Detailed 11.25" LeBaron/Seville brake upgrade writeup w/parts list ('84-'87 only) by GS Jon? Sorry for all the questions but I just want to make sure because the Fiero I purchased did not have any E-Brake arms or cable brackets on the calipers. :-(. I have new E-brake cables. I figure if I have to spend money on new stock Calipers (just for the Cable brackets) I might as well spend a little more for a better braking system to go along with my 3800 S/C Swap (Which is complete) but cant get it inspected until I fix the E-brake system.

the set I had was sold to "sixstringretard", but I'm having more made. most likely they will be done tomorrow (which is already today lol)..

I dont have the stock fiero rims so I cant tell you if they fit those or not, you would have to ask someone else. I can tell you the stock ebrake cables fit though

this is the how-to I used: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/109042.html

PM'd payment info, thanks

[This message has been edited by scott0999 (edited 02-25-2011).]

Are these still available? If so PM with payment info if you could

quote Originally posted by Smeaudio: Are these still available? If so PM with payment info if you could

I placed an order yesterday to have a set made, most likely their done. I work 2nd shift so I'll know by tonight

Electroshop was next in line, but if I dont hear back from him you can have this set. either way I can get you a set if your interested

[This message has been edited by scott0999 (edited 02-25-2011).]

I'll be taking a set. Thanks. I'll be sending payment tonight.

quote Originally posted by Electroshop: This swap will accommodate the stock rims and E-Brake cables, correct?

Electroshop I can let you know in about 2 weeks if these will fit under stock rims for sure, as mine will be stock rims.

As for the brackets on the calipers I found advanced auto parts has everything the for the lowest price and has a discount online. I worked up 2 separate orders and saved $80 off the purchase. The rear calipers come with the brackets but you will need to find someone that has a set of the springs (Fiero or Caddy). Don't forget you will need the longer hoses as well. Fronts can be used on the rear is what I'm told and 88's can be used on the front.

I can send you an e-mail to save 40% at advanced if you want to get your parts there. I get $10 out of it so anyone that wants to just PM me.

GS Jon took his post down but there are 2 places I found it.

Walt Zettner's post on myfiero.oceanmoon, I think this is where it all started
http://myfiero.oceanmoon.co...er’s-brake-upgrade

and the post by Carbon credited to forum member GS Jon

Edited for 40% saving threw Advanced

Thanks for the info sixstring. Hey Scott0999, I will have to back out for the moment, unfortunately, for the reason of finances, till I save up a little more cash. After checking my Quicken account and the price of 4 calipers, rotors and misc. parts, the two didn't jell well due to a guy who owes me $350.00 for some work I performed did not pay me (AGAIN). So my finances are a bit crippled. I hope I'm not causing an inconvenience for you. I will still be definitely getting a set from you shortly it's just the money I was counting on did not come threw as expected. So I have to settle for spending $160.00 for (2) E-brake arms, (2) Springs & (2) Cable brackets from the Fiero Factory. :-(
