C5 conversion snag.

[Autometer]

I started on doing the swap when I ran into a little problem. I've read that the 3rd gen fbody rotors are used for hubs when doing the C5 brakes on B-body spindles. Well I had the 1LE rotors which I turned one down. When I went to bolt the caliper bracket to the custom bracket, it comes 1/4 inch short of bolting up. Then I looked around on the web and the outside hub to mounting surface was 2".

I measured mine it was 1 3/4".

When talking about the 3rd gen fbody, I guess they meant the regular rotor?

Here's some pics so far.

Yep that would be the regular rotor.

Pep boys had them for $14 each. bearings are extra. I like wrecking yard units...but you need a core.

Well I picked up a rotor on the way home so I'll put it on the lathe soon.
