Hi, I just sent paypal payment for the camaro calipers,not powder coated.
Thanks, Josh

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

anyone?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I received your payment and your Camaro caliper brackets shipped out today. You should receive them either Saturday or Monday.

Thanks for the purchase ;)

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Assuming you currently have a dual reservior drum/drum master, that master cylinder does not have enough volume for calipers, plus they have built in residual valves. Now if you have a disc/drum master, the same would apply, but only to the rear circuit. Althopugh, I have seen masters on some of the C20 squarebodies that look just like a disc/disc master cylinder. I just do not know for sure if they are the same internally.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Excellent thank you, I will send money soon

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

So captainfab whats a good year pickup to grab a disk/disk mastercylinder off of? Or does someone make one for my square body. Thanks

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I beleive most guys are using the '77-'81 Corvette master cylinder

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Ok so 77-81 vette and it fits nothing else i'll need. I no i'll probably have to do some reflaring of brake lines, and an adjustable proportioning valve for the rear but my concern is the plunger size,and my existing proportioning valve. Leave it or get rid of it? Thanks mark

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Yes the Corvette master cylinder will bolt right up. Just like most GM parts, there are a lot of master cylinders that are interchangeable.

You can try using your original proportioning valve with an adjustable valve in the rear circuit and see if that works for you. The other options would be to change to a disc/disc prop valve or the Wilwood #260-11179 prop valve which has a built in adjustable valve for the rear.

What do you mean by 'plunger'?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

CPP has a bunch of valve options too that will work with the original brake warning switch

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Sorry disregard plunger that would be an issue if i were to change out the brake booster,and it sounds like thats not needed.Thanks for the help i'll post more pics when completed.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I need a set of these, but don't have time to read through 11 pages to find the price on the powder coated ones. I se a price for bare steel on the first page. I'll send a PM.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

PM replied to :)

The satin black powder coating is an additional $28.00

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Think I'll go with the unpainted set. Will send PayPal right away. Thanks.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

do you make any brackets to accomadate the 98-02 fbody calipers?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

No I do not.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Will these work with the wilwood d52 calipers?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

No, these only work with the '93-'97 F-body calipers. If you want to use the Wilwood D52 calipers, you will need my D52 brackets.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

ok,just asking as i have 5 sets of them(98-02 disc set-ups,gbody builder)so for the camaro brakets(94-97) with hardware it is 125.00 shipped? i would need them shipped to 87144.thanks!

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

The total for a bare steel set is $121.65. If you wish to have them in satin black powder coat, the total is $139.65.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Regarding the corvette MC, front reservoir goes to front brakes and rear to rear? Just did my 64 lincoln and it was opposite so I thought I'd ask

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I believe that is correct, but I'll have to verify that. Are the fittings different sizes? I was thinking that the general rule was that on masters that have equal size reserviors, that the front is front brakes and the rear is rear brakes.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets

The rear port is the bigger one...

Thank you for making this bracket. It would have been much harder to make this work without it.

Hey CaptFab, want to order a bracket for Impala disc/Camaro caliper. sending paypal now.
Thanks

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Payment received and email sent :)

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

ryserstine,
what is the bracket shown in this picture? or is that some sort of JIG for welding/fabrication? if you don't mind me asking?great work! that bracket caught my eye, just wondering what it's for.....:metal:
Ben

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

If you are talking about the bracket that is below and behind the caliper, that is the panhard bar mount that is on the NASCAR trailing arms.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

that's a pretty stout looking bracket, I was just wondering what it was for, never seen one of those before.....
Thanks Captainfab!
Ben:metal:

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Are you still making these brackets

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

That bracket is on the end of the trailing arm and where the adjustable track bar mounts

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Yes I still make these as well as all of my other products

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Mother of god......I don't know how I've never seen this before with all my years on the board, but I am so glad I finally did!!!! I'm in the middle of a full repaint on my '98 but the rear brakes are next on the list after paint. Thank you for offering these!!!

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I do not yet make any rear disc brackets for the '88-'98 trucks. I keep hoping to find the time to work on those, but with working 70-80 hrs a week every week, time is scarce. Does your truck have the 8.5" 10 bolt or the 9.5" 14 bolt?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

What rotors can I use with these brackets and calipers to swap my truck to 4.75 bolt pattern?

I've seen Chevy Astro van rotors mentioned, but the obvious Camaro rotors that match the calipers would be nice to use.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

The only rotor that can be used with these brackets without modification are the ones they are designed for.

The '93-'97 F-body rotors have a 5 x 4.65" wheel stud pattern, are smaller in diameter and a different height.

I have started on a different set of brackets for the trucks using the 5 x 4.75" wheel stud pattern, but I don't know when I will have time to finish them up.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Gotcha. I guess I'll just have to buy a pair of Impala rotors and re-drill the 4.75 pattern in between the 5" pattern.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

How do these calipers adjust the parking brake for pad wear?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I just assumed they had some sort of internal ratcheting mechanism. Did you use new/rebuilt calipers or used?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

They are rebuilt. The design does not have a ratchet. The Camero did though, have a ratchet built into the handle. But I'm unsure if this was to adjust the parking brake or simply keep the cables tight.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Has anyone successfully tested this on a running truck? How's the P brake hold?
