      1966 Chevy Caprice 4dr Sports Roof/hardtop

      So car Is running better, debating swapping dual master cylinder for 4whl drums till I figure out disc set up.
      My conundrum is does anyone make and adapter for mating Corvette C5/C6 calipers to the drum brake spindles. Seems only way to get disc is 67-70 full size and rh? Have much crappier calipers. Knd of like older Vette style.
      Still hoping for ability to put 17or18 in wheels on this car.
      So far all I have found are adapted metric stuff or a body stuff.
      Or should I just make my own parts?

      Lee, you could certainly adapt your way to the big C5/6 setup. I chose the more straightforward bolt in C3 upgrade for my 67 SportsRoof 4 DR HT. 17" wheels. One year in, and they stop fantastic, no noise or issues whatsoever. Meets my current needs, and now with the C3 spindles, I have the potential for further upgrades on the calipers, hubs and rotors if ever needed.

      Here's the link to my C3 post,

      Call Tobin from Kore3 or email him. He just helped me out with my 66' Impala wagon. $320 for the brackets for front and rear which is a great price considering you can buy the rest of the kit from him or somewhere else as you go on. The aftermarket kits are great but they are expensive and a huge bill all at once.

      Just so you are aware because I wasn't at the time, the 65-66 Impala 12 bolt isn't the same as a regular car 12 bolt. It actually has the housing end flanges
      of a C10. If you order anything for the rear from anyone they will need to know that.
