You don't need a bottom tap for the blind hole. The anchor plate bolts only go about 1/2" into the spindle, so you can drill down 5/8"-3/4" and use a standard tap. I just modified my spindles last night and this is how I did it. You'll need a 27/64 drill bit to drill out the holes, and they'll center themselves on the original dust shield bolt holes. Be sure to use plenty of cutting oil when drilling and tapping.

JUSTINS86BIRD,
I have a Q for you. Who is "Dal" you mentioned in your post on Mar 8 at 9:52 PM? I take it they are a parts supplier but I 've never heard of them. Little help please.
Also, ANDYZ28 and JAYG, good luck with the upgrade! I'm anxious to get the results. Thanks!

Those of you looking for GM 1LE stuff. Before you buy anything "by the part#". contact Bill Moats www.heritagech@aol.com He actually knows what he is talking abuot with this third gen stuff. I have nothing to gain by endorsing him. But he really has spent a lot of time in reasearching this relatively obscure 1LE stuff for me. 1-800-523-6137

Colt, Bill Moates is the parts manager for Heritage Chevrolet. I believe that the the www. is a web site. His email is; wmlmoates@aol.com He relly is a pretty cool guy. Fellow racer, etc. He even went to the trouble to get me an actual GM front "spring rate chart" by part#. I get all my GM stuff from him. Thanx,ANDYZ28

Jay and I took many photos today of my 1LE front brake upgrade. They are great! We should have some of them posted soon. Pretty cool eh?

Ed, Remember me mentioning that Bill moates at Heritage Chevrolet has been a big help? Well he is the one that got it for me (us). It has more than one page ,so I will get the missing pages and post them for everyone. But! How do I do it? Scan them and? Or simply go the rather labor of reentring the entire text? I dunno' The chart is very,very, interesting though. Thanx,ANDYZ28

I spoke to Guldstrand on the phone yesterday. They said that they get quite a few calls about the 1LE caliper bracket. But that they no longer manufacture it, and have no plans to do so. As the original GM part is readily available for around $75.00 ea. Not worth their trouble really.

Hey,Justins86bird! You were right about the GM part# 18022602 bolt $14.56 ea. They have nothing to do with my 1LE upgrade. They are the long socket head bolts that attach the "stock" calipers. I have the correct bolts coming from Heritage Chevrolet. Thanks for pointing out the mistake dude.

I was in the final stages of my 1LE upgrade. I was installing the propotioning valve,and master cylinder. When it became clear to me that the brake line tube nuts and the ends of the lines are totally different. My '82Z28 lines are "inverted flare". The proportioning valve and master cylinder are definitly NOT! Now what? I am a truck tech. So this is something new to me. Do I need to change all the brake lines (which would really suck)? Or can I simply redo the ends? Does any body have any experience with this problem? Thanx,ANDYZ28 Now I am so near the end.But still so far away. DAMN!!

AndyZ28, Look at Bill Fong's upgrade article at this site
http://www.isthq.com/967Edan/1LEbrake.html
(posted by matt_91rstpi 3/7/01 earlier in this thread)...he addresses the proportioning valve thread issue and this may help you out. Also, the pictures jayg posted from your upgrade are excellent. One Q though: He pictures two spindles next to each other, one very clean and one obviously used. Is the "clean" spindle new or one from a spare set that you reconditioned? And if modified, what tools did you use to modify it? Thanks....Ed

SO!! At the end of a *%&$in winter oddessy. I finally got my car running, and out to road test my new 1LE brakes (with a quesy passenger). WOW!! From about 50mph I stood on them with all my might. The car stopped rather suddenly, without any wheel lockup,AT FIRST. Then after repeated attempts very acrid smoke began to roll from the front caripers. Then I finally got the right rear wheel to just barely lockup. It left no skid marks on the pavement. It's really kinda weird. Because the more I abused them. The faster I would stop. But without any REAL wheel lock. It would just go "OK he wants to stop". And theyb would just stop! We went from 120mph to Zero in 6.2 seconds,pedal down very hard.I still think that the pads need further work. But I am quite impressed. A dramatic improvement over the stock brakes.

Andy, can we get all of this together and summarize it? I'm willing to update the 1LE brake article on my website to include your pictures and part numbers... Since I'm going to be doing the 1LE front brake retrofit (FINALLY!) I'd like to pass on the information. You'd get the credit, just like Bill Fong---

Great idea, Dan. There's already 2 huge threads going on about this topic anyway. I think the prop. valve issue may still be in the air a little, but everything else is seems to be worked out. I will be getting my hands on a set of spindles this weekend to modify for my own upgrade coming this fall. Looking forward to seeing the results..

Does anyone sell slotted or drilled 1LE rotors? I know that would add to the cost, but they look so freakin cool behind some nice wheels. I'd be interested in a full parts listing, too. Thanks!

Dan, I will "again" provide a full parts list. The prop valve issue will be resolved as soon as I replace my master cyl. Thanx, guyz I still have a zillion photos that have not been posted. But those of you planning this "GM" conversion. Better hurry. The parts are running out fast.

So! I finally changed my master cyl from the '88 4 wheel disc brakes/back to the stock disc-drum master cyl. The change was a dramatic improvement in brake effect. So, as I said before "all the theory must be converted into rubber on the road". I will leave the disc/drum master cyl on the car. Before the master cyl change,I was unable to hold the car still at traffic lights (big cam) and apply any throttle. Now it does not move at all.
The result seems to be; use the stock disc/ drum master cyl. I will have to install a vaccuum can to help the booster out.
Anyway,another 1LE question answered by "rubber on the pavement".

Scroggins-Dickey Chevrolet advertises a "1LE upgrade kit" for an unbelievable $849.00. The kit consists of 2 drilled/slotted front rotors, and a set of front disc pads.
That alone would have more than doubled the price of my 1LE brake package installation.
It's just a little too pricy for me. Not to mention the fact that the use of drilled/ slotted rotors actually results in degraged brake performance (less surface area/ less mass etc.) But they do look cool!

The advantage of surface slotting, is gas and dust removal. Your pads create gas from the glue used to bind the friction material together. It can actually create a gas pocket under the pad the prevents full or even contact with the rotor surface. The slotting pulls the gas from under the pad, allowing better surface contact. Everything I have stated applies to "extreme" use such as autocross, or police persuit situations, and probably does not apply to our spirited blast through the twisty backroads...

The set of drilled and surface slotted rotors I saw at the Super Chevy show here in Richmond were cool looking. But the total "swept area" of the rotor surface was reduced by 18%. So I figured that less area for the pads to contact, meant less brake force. But I am not any kind of engineer at all.

I have combined the best of both, on some of my trucks. I had the rotors surface slotted, but not drilled. This coupled with cryogenic treating has eleminated rotor warping. It doesn't look quit as cool as crossdrilled, but it's not as plain as stock.
I really appreciate your shareing all the results of your conversion. It has answered a lot of questions in my search for better brakes for my 84 Z-28.
Can you post a link to the most current parts page. I want to get what I need before they are all gone...

OK Andy, let me get this straight..You're using the 4 wheel disc proportioning valve with the disc/drum master cylinder? I think that's where you are at the moment. A little help here, just getting my sh*t in one sock..

I installed the master cyl from a 1986 Camaro w/disc drum brakes. I removed it myself. This in conjuction with the GM# 14089496 proportioning valve. I am afraid that I do not know what other applications this valve fits. But I will find out for you.
And as I said before! The stopping power of these brakes is unbelievable.
I much prefer the solid rotors to the drilled/slotted rotors. If they were so good you would see them on the race cars!!

This is very interesting I switched from drum rear to disc. and bought the new master cylinder to use on my upcomming 1le up grade but, It sounds like I should take it back and just leave the system the way it is but, the valve would be the only thing I question right now.

88 350 tpi formula, I have made a querry to GM to find out what other applications the proportioning valve 14089496 fits. I'll let you know. In the meantime,I see that you are a GM Tech. See if you can ask your parts dept to look up the stock proportioning valve for your car. I might be the same. Let me know.

Andy is correct in using the disc/drum master cylinder for his 1LE brakes. It is the same as the disc/disc m.c. for the '89 and later third-gens. Only the '88 and earlier disc/disc m.c. is different.

I will give him a list to check on like my mc, p-valve. he already verified that the rotors are not the same as a caprice's and that they can only be found on f-bodies 88-92 with 1-LE brakes as origanally thought.
as soon as I saw that the brackets were running out I had parts get them and charge them to my work account whew! I was happy to get them.

I got the cross ref. for my 88 and it shows as follows...
Master Cylinder
Part# Discription
18009364/ 4-WHL DISC(J65),(ECT 1LE)88-88
18009374/ Vac PWR BRK(J50) 82-88
18009374/ 4-WHL Disc(J65),(1LE) 88-88

If you notice above the master Cylinder is the same for 82-88 drum and 88-88 1le and some of the all wheel disc systems.
Also there is no listing for the 1LE porportioning valve discontinued???

Well, Andy tried to warn us, and he was right! It looks like all the left side caliper carriers (10132829) are gone. I called Bill Moats today like he said. He wasn't available, but Sam was. He ran the numbers through the GM Trax system. He didn't show any of the numbers in short supply to be available. According to him, the brackets(18016034), and the right caliper carrier(10132830)will be available soon. The left one does not show a back in stock date.
I called a Houston dealer, and they put it through their local Trax system. It can't be found in the Houston area either. The only hope of finding these parts is call your local dealer and see if they have them in house.Unless their is another source that hasn't been discussed, it looks as if this game is over. Anyone have another source???

I hope the prior posts will help out a bit. Andy, I see you were right to go back to the disc/drum M/C (I.E. P/N 18014286). That's exactly what the manal calls for!! I'll have to change mine, too.

So! is the 14089496 propporioning valve a "service replacement" valve for '88 w/1LE?
I would reccomend to anyone who plans to do the 1LE upgade to all 4 wheels. To NOT change to master cly, or proportioning valve. But to drive the car first, and see how it performs. That's what I did. And I went back to the J50 (disc/drum) master cyl. With great success.

Ed, my 14089496 proportioning valve does not appear to be listed for '88 w/1LE? But mine works fine. Should I use the 14089497?

Hey guys,I may actually have a line on a source for the letf caliper carrier (10132829). I actuall know someone who lives near Melbourne. And knows of PBR. I have also actually spoken to PBR on the phone. They are going to see if they can help me (us) out somehow. PBR manufactures the caliper carriers,and calipers. Then supplied them to GM.
I'll keep you all posted. I'ts a bit of good news anyway.

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, Andy. I don't see different P/Ns for either a production or service proportioning valve (P/V) for the 88 year in the manual. It lists only "86-88 F J65.....14089497". However, if you look further down the list to the 1LE specific items, it lists P/N 10136840. That may cross reference to 14089496, I'm not sure. All these numbers are making me dizzy. When did the 1LE option appear? I don't know exactly. I thought it came out in 88, but the manual lists "89 J65, 1LE 2ND Design.." and then lists " So where's the FIRST design?? I'm confused. Anyhoo, I think you did right..hold it a second...
