Hey everybody and thanks in advance for your replies. I have a 67 camaro with factory non-power assisted front disc brakes. I have been doing alot of research and am interested in the various late model corvette calipers. I see that the kore3 caliper brackets allow this to happen. I see alot of conversions, but always from drum spindles. Can I use my disc spindles and upgrade as is with new brackets, calipers, and bigger rotors? I have 17" cragar s/s wheels. Thanks

I installed a C5 kit from Kore3 (discs and calipers) on my 67 factory discs Camaro.

The spindle is not the problem: they supply the right spacer for the upper hole.

The hubs are 9/16" wider then drums:
2"15/16 for disc hubs, 2"3/8 for drum hubs.

you can put 2 spacers between the caliper and bracket to compensate (1.250" OD and .641" ID, 9/16" thick) Kore3 could supply them, I had them machined locally.
the other solution is to use drum hubs and you then don't need any spacer.
