Got a smart phone? Try this. http://tremec.com/menu.php?m=154 It's pretty cool. Walks you through the process. Tom

I guess I'm missing something. Doesn't the pedal drop some and become less hard on all power brake cars? That used to be a test to confirm the booster was working. Bleed all vacuum off by pumping the pedal with engine off. Apply pressure to brake pedal and start the engine. The pedal would drop...

I had this at all four wheels. I couldn't believe it. I installed the calipers, pads and rotors all together new. I sent the calipers back to VBP to check and they had no explanation. I have never figured it out. The only thing I see is the pistons are very short. If the pads wear on an angle...

Is this what they looked like? Tom

I am using a VBP dual mount rear spring on my 65. For some reason I can't seem to get the rear ride height up where I want it. As I tighten the spring end bolts it just seems to bend the spring. VBP says get a stiffer spring but when I put the current spring on the stiffest setting the car rides...

Does anyone have the part numbers and supplier for heim joints to replace the bushing ends on the VBP Smart Struts? I did some searching but have been unable to find them. Thanks Tom

What brand of tire are you using? I have Nitto NT450, 275/50 17 on the rear of my 65 and they appear to still be available. http://www.nittotire.com/Tire/nt450#size http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/searchTiresBySize.do?ar=50&rd=17&cs=275 Tom

Funny you mention Wilwood. Just got mine on last weekend. :thumbs: http://www.vettemod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8362&page=6

New pads and O ring callipers, new rotors and ss braided lines were all installed together. It was a long time ago but I did not expect to see that kind of wear. Apologies to OP. Do not mean to steal the thread.

Same as mine although mine are O ring style.

Just out of curiosity whose calipers and pads? My post on another forum. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c1-and-c2-corvettes/3101596-holy-crap.html

Got the Wilood calipers on. Went pretty smoothly. Everything fit right out of the box except on the rear. I have Vansteel offset trailing arms and the rear/lower caliper mounting boss on the calipers hit the trailing arms and would not allow the mount hole to line up. I had to grind the edge of...

Please post a link to your build. Are you using these? Corvette D8-4 Caliper Kits "The calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement** for all 1965-82 Corvettes. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons, and high-temperature seals put an end to the rust, bore pitting and seal...

Are ya done yet? :smash:

You guys that bought the Wilwood kits. What do you think? Worth buying? The good the bad, and the ugly please. Thanks!

What sway bars do you all recommend with front and rear dual mount springs on a SB 65. I'm currently running a VBP front bar 1.125 and no rear bar. 17X8 255/50 front and 17X9 275X50 rear. Shortened 460 ft coils and 300# rear spring. The VBP full kit comes with both bars but my experience is the...

Hey Rich. You and your better half are sure welcome! A Top Fight car? I surprised they would let you near it! :D The halfshafts came today. 3" diameter and 13 1/2" u-joint center to center. Just the man, TT, said. :thumbs:

Well I found a pair of used 1982 halfshafts. They should be here on Monday. I hope they solve my tire clearance problem!

Yeah I thought about having some made. As best I can tell they will fit. It's the slight chance they won't that is keeping me from putting money out.

Well finding the short hafshafts is proving more difficult than I thought. Any have a pair they can spare?
