New rear C5/C6 and drum to LT1/1LE disc conversion brackets are done!
Here's the first of many threads from me on new stuff I have developed for our cars that will be available this year. First off, new rear disc conversion brackets.
Rear drum to 1LE/LT1 rear discs ranging in sizes from stock 11.8", full 12", and custom two piece 13" rear discs, all .81" thick to use a PBR caliper (left):
It is a DIRECT bolt on to drum rears with absoultely NO MODS to the axle flange needed. This plate is for 1LE/LT1 rear disc conversions only, no LS1 stuff here. The upper hole bolts in place where the wheel cylinder attaches and the two lower bolt holes are where the stock drum backing plate bolts on..easy as pie. Of course all bolts and hardware are included with the plates. The plates shown and those I have on hand are for full 12" rotors, of which I have two sets. I will document a full conversion on a drum rear using this plate later this week.
C5/C6 conversion brackets (right)
This plate allows you to bolt on C5/C6 rear disc brakes INCLUDING the monster C6 ZO6 4 piston units. I will have them available in both 9 and 10 bolt rear flange patterns, those on hand are for 10 bolt disc patterns only at this time. They can be installed on a drum rear if it's modded like the LS1 conversion how-to describes. Should there be enough interest, I'll do one for a drum rear flange as well but for right now I'll stick with these. Again, full pics on this swap should be posted by next week but one thing at a time.
I apologize for those I have not replied to either by PM or e-mail, I'm extremely busy and with a new baby time is prime. Please be patient and I'll get back to you all as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.

Wooo rear c6 brackets. Looks like Im not gonna have to build my own! 
Ed, any idea if they will work with a Strange 12 bolts rear? The rear was ordered "using rear stock disc brakes". Also, what do you suggest for an E-brake? I thought about using a line lock, rigged to my rear wheels.
