Help fabricating/purchasing C6 brake conversion brackets?
Just finishing up my LT1 swap in my 1991 Camaro RS and i am having trouble finding some info on mounting up my C6 brake calipers and rotors to my 91 camaro. car badly needs a brake upgrade with this added power. these brakes were poor with a iroc duke, let alone a 350 LT1! Anyhow... Here's where it gets interesting. My car is a Frankenstein, it has a Trans Am 9 Bolt posi disc rear with iron calipers, 4th gen aluminum driveshaft on it currently, and all sorts of other junkyard upgrades and swaps. i'm trying to find a bracket kit to bolt on my C6 rear brakes(i have the front and rear calipers and rotors and pads off a NON-Z51 package 2006 corvette Base. I'm trying to find specs to build my own brackets to adapt to my stock spindles on the front, and to adapt to the borg warner 9 bolt on the rear, now if i could just buy these brackets i would much prefer to buy them, but i have a full fab shop i work at my disposal to build them if this combo has not been done yet, if anyone has any info please drop me a line or any info to get my towards the correct direction, i started on this journey awhile ago, and things came up, and now I'm trying to finish this car up so i can finally enjoy it!
Also i have C5 corvette wheels 17X9.5 front 18X10.5 Rear9i believe), so if they will not fit over my C6 base model brakes, no problem, i will put on a set of C6 wheels or similar to house them, my issue is the brackets. (i have all the brake lines figured out with SS lines and such.
Thanks in advance for an info on this swap. if anyone has done this, or similar, your help is greatly appreciated!

I still haven't found an aswer yet. I can't extract a .rar file I don't have a computer right now, just my iPhone... I'm looking around to see if I can find someone who makes brackets... I remember a while back a member on here linked me to his webpage whew he had done many different adaptations of various brakes(front C5, 4TH gen, C4, and a couple rear sets of the same, but they were all for 10 bolt rears and I don't think any of the brakes were C6 unfortunately.
I have upgraded my stock Rs rearend to a Borg Warner "9 bolt" as they're called around here (Great rearend BTW)
I'm really looking to just purchase a set of someone is willing to point me in the right direction or if someone builds them... I'm really stoked to have these monster brakes! I'm going to upgrade to D&S rotors for extra cooling and I think they look "racey" I'll keep yall updated...
