Re: c5 front brake conversion brackets!

CNC steel brackets, just like the ones here,


http://www.bigbrakeupgrade.com/products2.htm


Based off the file here,

http://www.lukeskaff.com/car/brakes/bracket.html

Bottom bracket for c5 calipers.

I am not making them, I posted on another site looking for a company that could make some for less than $75, and SDS Machining offerd to build them for me.

Here is their site,

http://www.sdsmachining.com/

He said if I could get 10 people that wanted them, he would build them at the price of $40 a set.

Re: c5 front brake conversion brackets!

So....Are you selling these at $40/set? Or are they coming directly from SDS?

Re: c5 front brake conversion brackets!

They will come directly from sds.

Pm me for the contact info, if interested, as this is not something they normally sell.

I simply did the leg work and got them to make me a set.

Re: c5 front brake conversion brackets!

Would these be compatable with C6 calipers as well? Any other modifcations required to the spindles? I'll be interested regardless...

Re: c5 front brake conversion brackets!

I do not know about c6 calipers.

As with all the other upgrades out there, you will have to cut the old caliper mounts off the spindle, and drill out and re tap the 2 holes.

Re: c5 front brake conversion brackets!

It looks like SDS went with aluminum stock instead of steel, right?

Re: c5 front brake conversion brackets!

I would only use 1/2 steel and you still have to make hubs. Make sure you use grade 13 bolts with safety wire holes.
