I also got C5 rear calipers laying and looking to get a rear conversion kit with functional e-brake.

I'm still searching for them C5 conversion brackets. Already sent a few PM/emails to Ed Miller (flynebye.com) but I got no answer.

Anybody know who else sells them brackets?

Kore3 makes the brackets and probably easier to get right now.

Kore3 makes the brackets and probably easier to get right now.

Actually, we don't make anything for the G-body spindle at this time for a variety of reasons that we've discussed in various past threads.

Kevin, I responded to your PM before I saw this thread, but your spindles actually seem to have a reasonably stout upper dust shield mounting boss, unlike the OE spindles that we've had here in the past. I wasn't aware that there were multiple different castings, but it appears that may be the case.

Make them, it is to easy,
Set up your hub, & rotor. Center the caliber bracket, I used 18g sheet, for the pattern. Most kits that I have seen only use two of the bolts to hold the bracket I used all three, then use 1/4" to make the bracket, and shim as needed. Use all new grade 8 hard ware.

Flydoc, the big issue is that specific Gbody spindles dont have enough material around dust shield mounting holes to open them up for attaching the adapter bracket,,,this was why Tobin had not offered an adapter up to this point.
Just FYI

I am using the 98+ 2wd Blazer spindles for my C6 caliper swap with simple bracket... As for the rear C5 calipers you need to use a 98+ ls1 backing plate and park brake assembly along with the LS1 abutment brackets, the C5 abutment bracket can also be used if you go with just the bracket from Flynbye but the parking brake is nonfunctional.
