    C4 StopTech big brake kit + hubs

    This was a major 'doh on my part, incorrect measurements and the parts made it to CNC before I could catch them. This was for my C4 rear suspension swapped C3. If you have access to a mill, these could be fixed relatively easy. Anyway, these are supposed to be adapter pieces to use a C5 or C6...

    Piston area: floating vs fixed

    Not corvette related (unfortunately!) But I am trying to adapt a bigger caliper to my daily driver, and Im curious about differences in piston area. I need to retain the stock master cylinder, and I want to maintain the designed F/R bias for the ABS/traction control. Stock caliper is a...

    Lawless in Coronaville

    A friend sent this to me the other day... taken just down the street from me, a Porsche 962 out for an afternoon drive. No better time than now, when the police are limiting traffic stops to take your vintage race car out. If it wasn’t so frowned upon these days, I’d shake this guys hand because...

    C5/6/7 Bearing side loading

    I am trying to move on with my C7 rear bearing conversion and was curious what you guys thought about loading the inner race as it is a suspension member? (still using half shaft as an upper link) Ridetech is doing it on their track1 kits, but every other application where this bearing is being...

    Modifying MSD distributor for EFI timing control

    This may fall under one of those times where I should just buy the right parts. BUT I might as well ask if this is as simple as it sounds... I bought a FiTech fuel injection system for my car. I would like to utilize the timing control function of this unit BUT it is not compatible with the MSD...

    Oil Level Sensor

    Im trying to avoid using a nylon sight tube on my oil tank to check oil level... Has anyone ever used or have any info on oil level sensors? Ideally Id like something that utilizes a float and has a variable output, but from what Ive seen available online that seems like alot to ask. Id like to...

    5 point seat belt mounting points

    Curious what the full blown race cars are using for seat belt mounts? The steel plates riveted to the fiberglass floor cant be strong enough... or are they? Id like to run a 5 point; the shoulder harness is attached to the cage which is bolted to the chassis. Im wary of using the center bolt...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    Im getting closer to combining chassis projects with body projects... The first of these looks like it will be regarding coolant, oil and PS fluid coolers. Im curious if anyone has any data on how much (if any) engine compartment cooling is done by the fender gills? I had done some shade tree...

    C3 Balance Bar

    Next project for my '69 is to try to incorporate a Tilton balance bar into the stock(ish) pedal box area. There are balance bar setups that would be bolt in but I dont like that the whole assembly is outside of the firewall. The plan is to modify the pedal assembly to allow for the balance bar...

    Titanium Carbide backing plates

    These were experimental and I have no data to prove that they actually work... In theory they should help with heat transfer from pad to piston. I no longer have stock calipers, so no use for them. They are .015" each, hand cut by yours truely :3rd: $25 shipped

    C2/3 fuel tank swap

    Anyone know if a C3 fuel tank will fit in a C2? I have a customer with a '66 Vert that needs a tank, and I have a good tank that Im not using from my '69 coupe... They list different part numbers online but it sure looks like it might be close enough to work. He doesnt care about originality...

    Tesla Brembo Electric Parking brake

    I picked up a pair of electric parking brake calipers from a Tesla to use on another project, but after tearing into these, it seems like it could be a very simple and cheap parking brake option for anyone with different brake setups out back... Anyway, there is a 4 pin terminal on each caliper...

    Fixed caliper shimming

    Related to my C4 rear brake caliper plate... In my research it seems like most radial mount calipers have a bracket that converts to an axial mount. Is this intentional so that shimming the caliper to achieve a perfect "center" over the rotor can be achieved? Maybe something else? In my caliper...

    C4 rear caliper plate?

    Potentially a long shot but does anyone happen to have a caliper mounting plate off of their car? I would greatly appreciate some quick dimensions if so: bolt circle and inner diameter. I need to make a new one for a radial mount caliper and spot caliper. Thanks!

The rocker panel at mounts #2 and #3 are shot (drivers and passenger side) What is the best course of...
