Thanks due to Blazerman and son - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to thank Blazerman and his son. Sometimes I get crazy ideas and they were nice enough to tear down a front end for me and let me borrow parts for a couple of weeks to fab some new disc caliper brackets. I am setting up 4 piston Corvette calipers all the way around. That's right, front and rear. Also the Corvette master cylinder. It has a larger bore. I have met, spoken with and dealt with some great people off of this board. Teeitup, Gregsplace, Tom Hand, Jerry Moss, Edmond, and more. Thanks all. Kevin

Excellent. Kudos to Blazerman and son. I have fabbed up the Corvette brake setup on my Camaro COnvertible. It is a duplicate of the JL-8 front and the HD service assembly rear axle. It is a narrowed big car 12 bolt with 3.55 posi and two drivers side corvette rear caliper adapters to clear the staggard shocks. Keep us updated on your brake setup.

Thanks Kevin for the words of praise! I also need to thank Rob (blazerman) he set me up with a set of ralleys and 4 inch blocks, good person. As are you Kevin. I've dealt and met with some great people on this board also.

No problem Kevin, I allways like tinkeren on new projects and cant wait to see how that corvette setup works out, that thing should be able to stop on a dime and give back a nickel. Dustin is just now at the point where he likes coming out to the shop and helping out, plus he can get fit into spots I can only dream of, he's allready talkin about takin over the stepside when he turns 16. If you need anything else you know where I am.
