Very nice machining!!

With Roberts new discount with wilwood, might consider 2 piece rotors

Nice addition!!

David,
You considering retiring that block of wood you've been carrying around and using for an emergency brake?

I thought Dave had someone remove the chocks from his wheels before
"takeoff".

Haha! Haven't needed the e brake but it's a smart upgrade. Yun was working on it but haven't heard any updates. He's a little busy with the engine upgrade.

Ricky,

Thx. The more the better. Also , any specs on adapters and the cable u used. Understand a C5 cable will work w mods.

Doesn't the rear brake adapter mount on the outboard side of the rotor? Do you anticipate the brake adapter to require you to change the spacers you used to correct the wheel offset? Thanks.

I think the adapters Dom is referring to in the quoted post are to get the ebrake to work on his c4.

I am doing the 87 ebrake so I have a working one,I use it all the time on the Kwik lift.

One reason for the 87 is I have everything for that with 2 PC rotors and nice calipers

Scott,

No I don't think there should be any change. If u look at the first pics I posted of the adapters, the hub bearing will sit inside of the eBrake shoes. There's a relief cut into the adapter as you can see. The dimensions should remain the same as now since the hub bearing doesn't move in or out.
The front brake adapters also mount inward of the rotor but outward of the front spindle. This pushes the caliper outward, I believe its 9mm, to center over the stock rotor.
BTW, with the front adapters I got, it was necessary to do some minor grinding.
Also necessary to use some washers for proper spacing to center the caliper over the rotor.
And yes =Jeff= is correct I was referring to "adapters" for the eBrake cable etc.

Would like to do this with a set of wilwoods to match the front 6 Pistons I wonder if this adapter bracket will work with the 12 inch rear rotors. I have 17 inch rears and 2 piece rotors already any idea Dom ? Who is the POC for at the brake folks ?

GC,

Don't think it works for 12" rotors. The adapters have mounting "ears" dimensioned for the Z06 rear rotors. That means it's not only designed for a 13" dia. But also for the Z06 rotor offset.
