I got an extra set of Zr1 front calipers that I want to put on my wife's 85. Anyone know where I can get an adapter for the caliper braket

Those brackets were for Jb9 brakes,not J55. Yeah I got big wheels on it.
If I even had a schematic I could have someone machine a pair

Sell the J55 stuff and buy the wife some "real" brakes maybe! |

I wasn't actually thinking the C5 change but maybe "real" brakes. Anything done with any type of adapter is maybe questionable at best. Find someone with 50K miles on a package that was done with adapter bracketry of sorts and maybe that changes.

Really not trying to spend much on an 85. Just saw my zr1 brakes and calipers sitting there so for the price of a couple braket adapters I'd throw them on. I'm sure I saw such an animal years ago. Really don't want to go hacking up her car either. I have looked everywhere else I could think of thought maybe someone here might know. Guess I'll just leave it be. That's for the replies!

![]() ![]() Not that I'm suggesting using C6Z06 brakes on an 85. However, I did have C5 brakes for many years on my 84 Xfire. ![]()
