I just finished up some parts for a fellow. He's going to be converting to Corvette rotors and he needs a spacer in there to keep things centered. Simple solution that works. Have a look:  The Dawg ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

Spacers meaning the concentric rings? And hey, could you do me a favour and ask him what he's doing for calipers! lol ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

I guess spacers normally mean something else but yes, concentric rings to keep the rotor centered. He's called coolgtz on Pennocks. The Dawg ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

I fought Facebook vehemently for many, many months. I think I'll put off joining Pennock's for a little while yet. Hehe. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

I'm sure it will be, but I already spend far more time than I should on the internet - forums in particular. The last thing I need is another to keep my mind wandering. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

I know what you mean. I've wasted a lot of time over the years at PFF in the Totally O/T (Off Topic) forum.

Yeah exactly. I looked at my history and I've been on six sites forums lately: 60-degree V6 forums. It's too much. My brain never slows down and relaxes, which probably goes a ways to explaining the poor sleeping habits. lol ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

Tee hee. I WIN. In all seriousness though, thanks alot, Damien. My second option (We'll see how it works) is a cousin of my mother in Toronto, he's got a few Corvette's, and he's turning one into a race car. If he doesn't want the brakes, I'll pay for the shipping and get him to send those. That's a pretty big maybe at the moment. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

Ain't no 'Vettes at Pick-A-Part, and no typical GM "Everything-gets-shared" policy either, meaning I can't rip 'em from something else. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

Gnarley, thank you. Although, am I though only person that can't seem to find Art's Corvette? ...I also now feel jealous that he has cross-drilled and slotted rotors. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

More good info: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/112414.html - http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/112414.html There seems to be several different methods. Some Corvette rotors are bigger than others and 88 Fieros need different adapters of course. The Dawg ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

I have the non-heavy duty option (12"), so I'm the first page. Still running in to roadblock after roadblock (Totally intended pun) trying to find those calipers. I may just be giving a quick jingle to my Maple Leafs loving cousin back east, telling him to hurry up.  ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

Well, it seems this guy is using 99 Trans AM rotors and calipers up front and I think 95 Trans AM rotors and calipers in the back. They must be the same or very close to the Corvette's parts. The Dawg ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

Hmm... I will have to look in to that. Granted, not holding my breathe for any '99 Trans Ams to pop up in Pick-A-Part either. lol ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |
