I just mocked up the C5 setup on my 16" rims but the stiffner ribs are in the way. I really don't want to grind them off. Plan B now is to stuff a C4 13" setup in as others have.

: Who sells C4 upgrade adapter brackets? DjD Mar 2nd, 04, 11:09 AM Check with the guys mentioned on Davids site... http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/David_Pozzi/12_corvette_brakes_on_fgen.htm withnail Mar 2nd, 04, 03:19 PM Does this mean you have a set of C5 brakes for sale? Email me if you do.. :D Dennis, if this constitutes an illegal "wanted" I'll apologize in advance. :D -Andy pdq67 Mar 2nd, 04, 04:32 PM He's Tyler "Tito", Jones over at Pro-Touring?? Give the guy a shout over there..And say hello from pdq67!! Great guy.. pdq67 pdq67 Mar 2nd, 04, 04:35 PM I'm sorry, It's on page 16 of the Brakes section under, "Brake brackets for C4 calipers on 1st gen Fbodys......." Go get'em!! pdq67 Aussie Mar 2nd, 04, 08:55 PM You may want to talk to these guys, if I understand you already have the calipers. They have a hybrid set up that uses C4 13" rotor & C5 caliper that helps with clearance on 16" rims Touring Classics (http://www.touring-classics.com/) cheers Roger RickD Mar 3rd, 04, 02:09 AM PDQ - I have Tyler's brackets which are for LS1 type calipers with 12" rotors. Roger - thanks. I'll shoot them an email. I didn't see the mention of 16" accomodation. Dennis - I sent Rich an email. RickD Mar 3rd, 04, 05:32 AM Touring Classics offers C5 caliper options but agree that a C5 caliper won't fit inside 16" rims. Any other leads on C4 adapter brackets? I tried ebay too. kip Mar 4th, 04, 02:29 AM rick, have you tried speed tech? i got thier C5/drum spindle adapter brackets. they have C4 brackets as well. very nice product and todd is really good to deal with..... not sure if this is exactly what youre looking for. http://www.speedtech-performance.com/main.htm good luck RickD Mar 4th, 04, 04:26 AM Their C4 brackets are for a C5 caliper/C4 rotor. The problem is that the C5 caliper is larger and won't fit inside a 16" rim. A C4 caliper is a bit smaller and will fit with the 13" rotor. I just got a set of brackets. Thanks everyone. rwhite692 Sep 14th, 04, 05:18 PM Just got done with C5 front calipers / C4 rotors on my 69 using Todd's brackets (Speedtech). Worked out really well. Photos at the link below. Todd has brackets designed to accommodate a C4 rotor and he has a version for the thicker C5 rotor as well. -Rob | ||
