hey Dunc,

mines just c5 spec as the discs were much cheaper, plus only a little difference in c5 to zo6 disc size so I was happy with c5 setup.

Hows the blue car treating you, can remember talking to Brian a lot before he bought it (and the previous owner too )

Just checked out your photo's, it had a towbar?

Those don't look anything like the caliper brackets that are on it now! They are in red oxide primer and I don't recall seeing the strengthening bar between them either Jimbo, I'll get a photo when they get removed and re-fettled next week, if you know anybody with a vette that was pre 1997 I have some expensive brake pads to sell...............!!

jimbo, you mean you've got an lt1 with single pot brakes ? LS1 (98+) have twin pot calipers similar to corvete but discs are 1 inch smaller, I has 18 inch rims so needed 'bigger' brakes to look the part too.

if the discs are 12.99 inch then that's correct. Strange how the bmr brakets dont fit. I have some home made brakets my dad made, he's an engineer and we did the same and slotted the side to allow adjustment then welded up in place when they fitted correct.

I got these as a set to set the car up, the pads are ok for everyday driving but fade with more vigours driving

cheap to sort the front, you dont really gain anything from slotted and drilled rotors unless really using the car on track, as they 'clean' the pads...which in reality means wear them down faster, then the drilled holes rust and the discs become weak !

Must have had a girl exhaust on it then,somebody has fitted a stainless system with twin "resonators" and it sounds the bizz now, 2000-2400rpm is my favourite tone :-) it's a beautifull car that had been loved and cherished before the guy I brought it from got it but has spent a few years being neglected and needs some time and money invested to bring it back up to standard again

haha those brackets are just same as mine, I just had them machined out of stainless steel and a pal used some billet rod offcut to make the offset spacers

LS1 is easy conversion, you'd need the drop spindles and the calipers then thats it. I sold mine on after to Chris on here who has an lt1, then he went and bought an ls1 too

Do you want to get rid of the bar Jimbo?
