New "old" brake project

Since none of the brake companies (5 total) I contacted about helping me out with building this setup had any interest or time for it, I'll be doing it (with some help) from a semi locally business I had forgotten about.

The start


A idea of what is going on

The caliper brackets are finished and the hub/hat should hit the machine this week.

Re: New "old" brake project

Finally had some time to meetup with the shop and grab some quick pix
Caliper mount


Hubs are underway, a little tweeking and they will hit the machine. The rotors in the pic are a real 89 1LE rotor and a 93-97 F-body Brembo rotor. We took several measurements from each to get it setup right.

Re: New "old" brake project

Do you have the measurements from the 1LE Rotor? I am wanting to machine myself a set of hubs with the 1LE dimensions and am having a hard time locating the dimensions online.

I sure don't, the shop doing this has all of that info.
