Big brake conversion - finally complete - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

secondchance · 01-18-2015

Some of you may recall that I started Wilwood conversion in May 2013. I started with the rear to make sure that I can solve the parking brake issue with 4 piston calipers.

Having solved parking brake concern, I was ready to finish the fronts. However, 380 build, started by head gasket failure, shelved the front conversion for awhile.

Well, now that 380 mini-stroker project is complete, I revisted the front brake conversion yesterday. These are 14" two pieces rotors with Superlite 6 radial mount calipers.

And with the wheel in place.

Great big thanks to Jim Voter and Nelson.
Also, great big thanks to Phil for supplying Fikse 18 inchers that made this conversion possible.
