Still trying to decide whether to go 6 lug or 5 lug, is there a 6 lug rotor that will work?

scottycrossin · 12-05-2014, 04:40 PM

Sorry, I should also add that it is a 68 c10, 12 bolt that is currently 6 lug.

**Captainfab** · 12-06-2014, 02:43 AM

There is not a 6 lug rotor that is interchangeable with the 5 lug Astro/Safari rotor.

I do make 2 different 6 lug rear disc conversion brackets.

Captain
Thanks for the reply. Do you have a conversion if I would decide to go with 5 on 4.75?
Thanks

**Captainfab** · 12-09-2014, 12:15 AM

I started working on e 5 x 4.75 rear disc conversion several months ago, but never had time to finish it. I'm just not sure when I will have time. I'm still working 70-80 hrs a week and no relief in sight

Do you know what caliper and rotor you would use with that kit; or have you gotten that far?

**Captainfab** · 12-09-2014, 01:44 AM

The rotor is a late '70's TA rotor. The caliper I would have to look at again and see what I was using on this one.

Hello I came across this post as I was searching for a solution for my rear brakes. Would this work on 1979 Camaro 10 bolt rear? The shocks are staggered does that matter?

oooh, I'm waiting too. I've got 5x4.75 on my 66 12 bolt and want read disks too!

**Captainfab** · 12-10-2014, 01:15 AM

None of my rear disc brackets will work on a car differential except for the Impala differential which has the same backing plate flange as the 1/2 ton trucks. They are all designed for use with the '64-'82 truck 12 bolt and '80-'91 8.5" truck 10 bolt

Well I guess I need to figure out how to get more than 24 hours out of a day and get those brackets finished up.

Captain,
Will your brackets work with c clip eliminaters?

**Captainfab** · 12-13-2014, 12:45 AM

I have not tried it but I don't think will work. The base bracket bolts to the backing plate flange on the wheel side just as the C-clip eliminator does.

I managed to squeeze a little extra time to work on the 5 x 4.75 conversion a couple days ago. If I get done early enough with the job in the shop tomorrow I'll see if I can make some more progress.

I have a truck 12 bolt but my axles have been re-drilled for the 5 x 4.75 pattern.

**Captainfab** · 12-15-2014, 12:29 AM

The new brackets I am working on are designed for that application or a Impala/Caprice with the 5 x 4.75" bolt pattern.

What pads you guys recommend for the d52 ' s that aren't $150 a set. I've got wilwood ' s on the front and stock front calipers on the rear. Truck will be mostly street with some autocross.
