Camaro Rear Caliber Install?
I purchased brackets from CaptainFab to install camaro rear calibers on my 71 C10. They make use of the rotor for 94-96 Impala's.
Has anyone had issues with rotors fully seating on stock axles? Mine seem to not want to slide all the way on. Have others had to file center down? When I install caliber the caliber mounting bracket is hitting the outside of rotor. |

I definitely remember that being a thing, but I think It's usually with aftermarket axles that have a larger diameter.

In the photo, it looks like the CALIBER of the rotor is too thick for the CALIPER.

Re: Camaro Rear Caliber Install?
I've used the Camaro calipers on a few hot rod projects. I use Moser axles and tell them the rotors I'm using.
In your case I would first get the rotors to slide over the axle resister. You may have to use a die grinder to open up the brake rotor hole a bit. Then I would shim the caliper and or the caliper bracket as needed to center the caliper. Don't use regular washers. Use machine bushings for shims. They are thin and very flat. |

Re: Camaro Rear Caliber Install?
Will those work if you have 15 inch rims and tires?

Re: Camaro Rear Caliber Install?
I have basically the same setup on my 80 Camaro running 18" wheels. With 15" rims just eye balling my setup I think they would just clear. But it really depends what your 15" wheel is. You may have issues with the rim or the center section hitting the caliper.
