Camaro Caliper Brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Captainfab** · 01-23-2010, 02:08 AM

I've contacted glock35ipsc and Bob says he doesn't plan to make more of these at this time. So I've done my CAD work and made a couple slight changes as you can see in the pics. They still function the same, I just didn't want to copy Bob's nice design exactly. The brackets are laser cut from 1/4" steel with the 1/4" spacers stitch welded onto the base bracket. These brackets fit the '64-'82 Truck 12 bolt and the '79-'87 truck 8.5" 10 bolt differentials.

The price on these with the hardware, is $137.50 plus $16.25 shipping via USPS Priority Mail which is 2 to 3 days delivery.. For payment I accept PayPal and money orders. If you would like a set, post in this thread, send me a PM or send an email to captainfab454@hotmail.com, and I will give you the ordering and payment instructions and current lead time.

Updated pricing to include hardware and increased shipping cost is $137.55
The Satin Black powder coating is an additional $28.00
This pricing is always current and up to date.

BTW that stack of washers on the caliper bolts is because I didn't have the right length 12mm bolts and I was in a hurry to take a pic.

Do you make anything like this to install rear disc on a 67-69 camaro? Or would this bracket work on that rear too? Thanks

**Captainfab** · 01-25-2010, 12:25 AM

This set of brackets will only work with the truck 10 and 12 bolt differentials. The main difference is the bolt pattern on the axle tube flange. Also the Impala rotor is about .100" larger in diameter than the Camaro rotor. I replied to your post in my other thread.

will you ship to Ontario Canada n0h 1g0

izonme13 · 01-25-2010, 09:55 PM

I have 2 sets of these from john. Very nice quality and great guy to work with. Totally stand up guy and was fast on makeing them. Thanks John!!

**Captainfab** · 01-26-2010, 12:07 AM

Yes I will. The total to you will be $127.00 USD shipped USPS as I normally do. That should be less $$ at the border for you than UPS or FedEx.

What calipers are these? I assume that its the Imp SS rotor. E brakes? Thanks jay

68GMCCustom · 01-29-2010, 01:28 AM

Anyone figured up how much a complete kit would cost?

**Captainfab** · 01-29-2010, 02:00 AM

These brackets utilize the '94-'96 Impala/Caprice rotors and the '93-'97 F-body calipers which have a built in e-brake.

The total cost will partly depend on if you can source your caliper cores for less than the core charge when purchasing rebuilt calipers. Tha calipers are your biggest single expense with this conversion. The best price I have found is from CSK/Oreilly's for the loaded calipers they are $127.00 pus a core charge of $31.50

I bought my calipers from ls1tech.com guys are parting out cars and sometimes can get a good deal. i bought the calipers with brake lines and cables for 70 bucks shipped. All I need are shoes. Not too bad I thought!!

**Captainfab** · 01-30-2010, 01:19 AM

Thanks for the tip Robert, that's good to know.

I imagine another good source for used would be http://www.car-part.com

trucks72 · 02-02-2010, 05:06 PM

Just a question on these. Will it fit inside a 15in wheel with no problems?

**Captainfab** · 02-03-2010, 12:37 AM

I don't know for certain, but I would think 15's would fit. The rotors are less than 12 inch. If someone that has installed a set doesn't chime in here, I'll bolt up a wheel on my mockup. Which wheels do you have, stock or aftermarket?

trucks72 · 02-03-2010, 01:36 PM

I have a set of truck rallys on one and a set of corvette rallys on another.

Normy71 · 02-03-2010, 03:16 PM

Is it about the same price to do this disc conversion as replace everything on a drum system?

**Captainfab** · 02-03-2010, 11:35 PM

I don't know just what the average total cost is for this rear disc brake conversion, but I'm sure it is more money than replacing everything in the rear drum brake system.

I forgot to take a wheel with me this morning. I'll be sure and take one tomorrow and let you know.

OK I test fit a 15 x 8, 5x5 pickup rally and it clears the Camaro caliper by a good 1/4". I really don't see any problems with 15" wheels on this rear disc conversion as long as the wheels are compatable with OEM disc brake applications.

edge · 03-04-2010, 08:45 AM

Put me down for set! Will send a P/P.

edge · 03-09-2010, 08:23 AM

PM Sent! Looking forward to these for my '70

Chevrolet4x4s · 03-12-2010, 02:19 PM

At $73.00 a drum (granted its for 4x4) It shouldn't cost much more.
