who makes a kit to install gen 4 (1998 Z28 specifically) front disk brakes on gen 2 front spindles. I have a 1998 Z28 donor car that I want to use the entire braking system from, but the ball joint to ball joint distance is to long, because the gen 2 spindle distance is around 7 inches I could use it but would like to keep the factory rotors/calipers.
i believe Kore3 makes and sells brackets to do just that.
or get all ******* and do it yourself- machine down your rotors into just a hub that fits into the later rotor, stick the calipers over the rotors, and make a bracket template out of cardboard and then transfer it over to 1/4" steel.
that's the reader's digest version of what needs to be done.
LOL, yeah, those spindles are totally different (on a side note I sold a set of 4th gen hubs & spindles for $50!). Yeah, check out http://www.kore3.com/ for brackets, he might make them. But most guys going to all the trouble of cutting down the spindles & using adapters move on to bigger C5/C6 setups.
Fwiw, there is a VERY detailed site SOMEWHERE w/ pic's and all that detail's 1Le and Big Car cast-type 2nd Gen. spindles caliper arms cut off and then modified to mount 13" rotors and caliper baskets.
It's easy and is a He, He!!, "Red-Neck" way a doing it!
Me and my 13" "pdqCBB" front conversion on my 1st Gen.!
Homemade caliper brackets that fit the old big, single piston calipers and they are on my car now.
