Looks great.
I'm guessing that the brakes are cheaper than the set of 18" rims that are needed to clear this stuff :trumpet::3rd:

Did you design and made those brackets? this is really nice + I like the hydrolic parking brake
I designed and made the brackets also mods to the hubs and rotors. It has taken me a while and the rear brakes were a packaging challenge. The parking brake caliper is actually a mechanical caliper, works with the standard Corvette cable.

Ok for the mech park brake. Tought it was a bit like Norval did with a master cylinder from a motorcycle activated from the hand brake inside the car in mind, didnt notice the clip for the cable right away.
Neat everything looks compact and tight. Again, nice work.
What size wheel will you fit over that?
I dont think standart rally wheel will fit huh?

I'm planning on 17" wheels in front and 18" in the back. I need 15 1/2" clearance in the front and 16 1/8" in the back. Got my fingers crossed that it will work out:noworry:

Damn, this is automotive porn! I like the small mechanical spot caliper, looks to be even smaller than the one i have from wilwood. Damn, I'm jealous...very jealous!

They look really good Larry. How are you going to treat them for rust/corrosion?

WOW that is really nice you put a lot of work into that im guessing
The rotors are plated but I suppose it's just a matter of time before they start rusting. You know what they say, rust never sleeps.

Did you have to drill the rotors to fit the GM bolt pattern?
Yes you have to drill the rotors. I am using the original lug holes for the screws that hold the rotor on. You have to redrill the hub and turn down the OD also.
