Understood. I keep forgetting that the staggered shocks make it a bit more difficult.

I'll probably try the 1" bore first ... thanks guys

C5 Parking brake
Published (2009-11-20 05:55:00)
I looked into relocating the shock by adding a plate to the back side of the spring plate to locate the shock on the other side...to keep the calipers oriented like the C5 Corvette....but the shock ends up at an odd angle compared to the opposite side. Easier and less headache to just swap the calipers as stated above.

master cylinder leaking ?

You say the cap and gasket are "fine and tight"...so is that where you're losing fluid? If so, that doesn't sound fine, even if it is tight. Which MC from CPP are you using? Any pics to share? Tobin KORE3

I just swapped the R/L sides and both pull to the front. It does relocate the position of the caliper but I have not heard of any issues with that.

If it's a street car, go with power brakes. Personally I don't like to feel of hydroboost setups, I prefer vacuum.
But then again, I prefer manual over anything else - but I know most would rather have power brakes for the street.

LS1 brakes refer to the brakes that came on f-bodies starting in the years they were available with the LS1, this applies to front or rear. Kind of a misnomer because LS1 is an engine, but it's just used as a reference point for f-body brakes in those years. (1998 - 2002 i believe).
I believe the Z51 RPO was a just brake rotor size upgrade to the base corvette (C6 i believe).

When i purchased my 72 Cutlass project it didnt have the front spindles or
brake assembly. Since then Ive purchased stock height replacement spindles,
ls1 disc setup and Hoag adapters. Im confused of what type of wheel hub i
can use. Do I have to use 68-72 A Body hubs? Can I use the LS1 Camaro hubs?
Are there any other hub assemblies that would fit? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

in the junkyard. start looking under cars until you find something that will work.
if you don't have a center console, you could grab the whole parking brake setup from an LT1 powered F body and install that. this would put the parking brake on the trans tunnel where it belongs and you could toss the stock parking brake pedal.

and a C3 Master and the factory booster rod is significantly shorter....
Wher can i buy one that is ready to use or would it be better to make my
own, any help would be appreciated.
