bump - looking for an update of any sort...looks like there is still a market for these.

glock35ipsc · 02-05-2009, 11:31 AM

Looks to be. If I can get enough interest in, say a dozen, I might make some more.

**lks dcvn** · 02-05-2009, 11:40 AM

Glock - put me on the list for a set (maybe 2) - I can prepay if that is necessary to get the ball rolling.

Thanks!

**EDIT** - might have a lead on one complete setup - might be down to just one set. I will let you know.

lts70 · 02-05-2009, 01:04 PM

I may be interested as well. About how much are you guys spending to finish this conversion?

menace121978 · 02-08-2009, 11:24 PM

intrested also!... as long as they will work on my 10 bolt...

Porterhausen · 02-09-2009, 02:36 PM

I would also be interested, let me know if you make another run.

blazerboy72 · 02-12-2009, 03:38 PM

I would be interested too

6772owner · 02-16-2009, 11:36 PM

I would also be interested in a set, maybe two if they will also work on my 67' K10? You have enough requests yet? LOL

Porterhausen · 02-17-2009, 11:37 AM

I know people have mentioned it before, but if you want to save me some time and shoot me the drawings, I can make/ have these things made.

weav1 · 02-17-2009, 06:48 PM

Me too

dooce · 03-15-2009, 11:21 AM

I would really like to get a set if you plan on making some more. Please PM me.

**lks dcvn** · 03-16-2009, 12:06 PM

bump for an update?

coast2coast · 03-16-2009, 08:25 PM

Did anyone find a 5 on 4 3/4 rotor that will work with these?

That's what I've been trying to find out and I don't think there is anything yet.
I think I may end up having the Caprice/Impala rotors re-drilled for hte smaller pattern. But I'm still watching just in case. It'll be a while for I get to this anyway.

coast2coast · 03-16-2009, 08:47 PM

Probably be a while for me too. But I have a set of slicks mounted on some Centerlines in the garage that my truck keeps asking to wear.

I've got a set of Coy's C5's in 5x4.75 to match the C4 front suspension. I want to be able to rotate them so I've gotta figure out how to get the rear to the same pattern.

lo72 · 03-17-2009, 09:25 PM

Put me in line for a set!!!!

CornDwg01 · 03-18-2009, 08:34 AM

I would like a set as well.
Does anyone know, with the Camaro calipers if you have to set the parking brake whenever you get out to keep the brakes adjusted like you do with the Caddy ones?

**lks dcvn** · 03-18-2009, 08:56 AM

List is at now at 14 sets of brackets:

Glock tell us what you need to get the ball rolling - pre-payment?

Thanks.

menace121978 · 03-18-2009, 10:29 AM

sorry guys, i priced everything out and the core charge for the calipers puts it over the top for me. fwiw complete kits can be found for cheaper.

Yeah, but most of those kits are using Cadilac calipers, which suck. The PBR calipers work SO much better. I got my calipers off e-bay. The PBR calipers are the same ones that Baer brakes uses in their kits. YMMV

And...

Their kit is $350 for rotors and brackets, no calipers. That's about what I have in my full setup, using new rotors/pads, good used PBR calipers from e-bay and Glocks brackets (got them from another member). That's with e-brakes.

Looking at the bracket in the kit from your link, they are not using PBR style calipers. They don't even show you what calipers they are using but looking a the mount setup, the non e-brake is most likely a front caliper or Impala caliper (which has no e-brake) or Cadilac calipers, which are junk.

menace121978 · 03-18-2009, 07:08 PM

its actually $400 for calipers too. and their caliper part # is the same # as the front 1.25" calipers that come stock. which i thought was pretty cool. not trying to talk smack just showing what ive decided to go with and show others there is another option if the brackets are a no go. and i do agree the caddy calipers are not the most desireable.

coast2coast · 03-18-2009, 09:08 PM

OK, I feel like a noob asking this question, but can someone tell me what PBR calipers are? Last I knew PBR was Pabst Blue Ribbon
