me needs some for a 10 bolt

eric72 · 01-10-2007, 08:02 PM

sent you a pm

glock35ipsc · 01-10-2007, 08:42 PM

Just so everyone knows, since a TON of people have been asking, I will be working on coming up with a bracket for the 93-9? Camaro calipers that have an e-brake. No promise as to when they will be ready, but my guess is about a month.

pcmcobra · 01-10-2007, 09:05 PM

10 bolt anytime soon?

Ram-Man · 01-10-2007, 09:44 PM

here is a pic of them mounted.

Glock I may want a couple of the adapters too.

glock35ipsc · 01-10-2007, 09:48 PM

Thanks for the pics, Ram-Man! My supplier informed me today that they are out of stock, and won't have the adapters for 5-7 days. I'll let you know when they come in.

pcmcobra - When things slow down, I will see what I can do. It may have to be a one-off set, but I will see what I can come up with after things get settled down here.

pcmcobra · 01-10-2007, 10:22 PM

sweet,
thx a bunch.
Will give me a little time to recoup from dropping some $ on my wheels and drop kit.
John

powell72 · 01-10-2007, 11:29 PM

As glock said, I have confirmed that the Impala brakes will fit behind a Rally wheel. Glock's brackets are a steal considering trying to make these things yourself.

byrd · 01-10-2007, 11:35 PM

About how much total for the swap, including the parts needed? I would like to have an idea before I jump on board. Are you able to retain an ebrake with this style? about the oem brakets needed, can you buy them or is it bone yard only?
Randy

Alvin · 01-10-2007, 11:55 PM

Well it depends on if you're going to use all brand-new parts or not. I'm looking at ~$450 using rebuilt calipers, new caliper brackets (they are available), slotted & cross-drilled rotors, the CPP prop valve, new hoses, banjo bolts, etc.

I've not seen anything about an e-brake with this set-up.

Alvin is pretty much spot-on. I have figured around $350-$450 with new parts. There is a core on the calipers, so look on eBay and boneyards for a cheap set to use for cores. Or if they are in good enough shape you can rebuild them. I do include a list of items needed along with part numbers and where to go. The Impala/Caprice does not use an e-brake on the caliper. And the OEM bracket is available at most all parts houses. I included a part number from www.rockauto.com because they have the best price, but I know the Parts America (Checker/Schucks/Kragen) also stocks them.

If you really want an e-brake, I have a set of Camaro calipers soming to use for designing a bracket for them too. They do have on integral e-brake.

byrd · 01-11-2007, 12:13 AM

OK, I will wait on the camaro style.
Thanks,
Randy

glock35ipsc · 01-11-2007, 01:16 AM

Randy, I'm hoping I can have something within a month.

Here are the powder coated brackets and calipers. The brackets didn't turn out as nice as the calipers but I didn't sand them either.

glock35ipsc · 01-11-2007, 02:14 PM

Sweet!! They look great! You may need to sand a little powder coating off on the inside of the large hole, as the first batch were fitting kind snug to the axle flange. Just an FYI.

Mixup · 01-11-2007, 09:12 PM

Bob put me on the list for the Camaro brackets.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I will get around to putting them on in the next couple of months.

glock35ipsc · 01-11-2007, 09:57 PM

LOL, lets hope it's sooner than that!

Col Clank · 01-11-2007, 11:34 PM

any chance of designing a bracket for a 10 bolt rear end.

Like I said earlier in this thread, when things slow down a little, I will look into making a couple sets.

p-low · 01-12-2007, 01:39 PM

count me in if you have 10 bolt plates made preferrably with the camaro caliper...thanks, taylor

glock35ipsc · 01-12-2007, 01:54 PM

Gotcha!

**53burb** · 01-12-2007, 08:26 PM

Only the distribution valve needs replacing & not the master cylinder?? I thought you would need a disc/disc m/c instead of a drum/drum....

glock35ipsc · 01-12-2007, 08:37 PM

I was under the impression you could run the same m/c (and some board members have). Drum/drum brakes require an equal volume of fluid since the wheel cylinders are almost equal, and the disc/disc would be very similar too.
