URGENT HELP NEEDED on brake kit!!!!!!!!... wierd conversion as solution???

[patoruzrs73]

Some months ago we ordered from a sponsor a new brake kit for my 73 RS camaro .. 13" 6 piston front and 12" 4 piston rear (wilwood kit) cross and drilled option... and all the necesary hardware for the installation.. we were really excited about it.. !!!!! this is part of the "last" upgrades for the car (Ive hear so many time the word last jajajajaj).. the car already has an ls1/a4 conversion, QA1 front coil overs, rear ridetech air bar suspension with QA1 soilovers, 17" boys wheels and some other minor mods... also ordered the speedtech tubular control arms so i can change everything when the brakes arrived.. (by the way I live in chile!!!, a little far form the US)...

The thing is that after waiting a long time finaly the brakes arrived!!!! I was really exited with the boxes and everything.. !!! but when I started looking to the boxes P/N I (sadly) realiced that the p/n apparently was not the one I was specting for the front brakes.. (140-9803-DR)..... I searched again on wilwood´s web page and........ yes it was the wrong p/n... the kit I have on my hands was for the 1st gen camaro...(I guess someone got confused with the right p/n when packing thins up)

.... fortunately the rear kit was OK (140-7141-DR), happy me!!!

So what can I do?? comparing both kits there are small differences on hud and rotor-hat offset (real dif is that the disc ofsset will be a little bit outside and finally the weel will be less than 0,5" more outside instead of 0" offset..not really a problem for me) ... disc is the same.. caliper is the same etc... but of course the caliper bracket is different... what dou you sugest? maybe change only the bracket, custom made a new braket.. or definitelly send the brakes back (not cheap, from chile to US) for and exchange.....



any advide will be really helpfull!!!!!

I would talk with the vendor about switching just the brackets. Did you come up with the part number or the vendor? If the vendor sold you the wrong part they should eat it, if you chose the wrong part you could at least ask them to work with you on just the bracket.

I contact de vendor.. apparently he got confused.. he will change every part that is different.. so I can have the correct kit.., really happy he answer soon.. the bad part is that I have to continue waiting for the new brakes...
