In early November 2011 I called Kore3 and spoke with Tobin about a couple of custom parts I needed to have fabricated for my C6 Z06 9" floater rear brakes. My Moser 9" floater came with rotor adaptors which have an 8 on 7" bolt pattern for the rotor mount but no one I could find sells a 13" or 14" 1.1" thick rotor with an 8 on 7" mount. So like John Parsons, I was going to have to have a pair of custom rotor adaptors made. I visited with Tobin about having him provide me with a pair of rotor adaptors and weld on caliper mounts. We spoke a couple of times on the phone discussed options and on 11/15/2011 I shipped him one of my rotor adaptors to use as a template to make the custom adaptors. On 11/21/2011 Tobin sent me an email and said he had received my package with the rotor adaptor. In that email Tobin ask if I wanted a steel or aluminum adaptor and what diameter my axle tube was. We exchanged a few more emails on 11/21/2011. Since it was getting close to Thanksgiving holiday, Tobin said it would be after the holiday before he could get me a quote which I totally understood. That was the last communication I received from Tobin. I waited for a week after Thanksgiving and when I did not hear from Tobin I called Kore3 around the first of December to see what the status of the quote was. I was told that he was waiting to hear from his machine shop and would check back and let me know. After another two weeks I had not heard from Tobin so I called again about 12/10/2011. Tobin told me he would give me a quote in a couple of days. Two days came and went and I did not hear from Tobin. At that point I decided that I was not going to keep calling for a quote. By 12/15/2011 I called Moser and ordered a rotor adaptor to replace the one I had sent to Tobin. During Christmas holiday I ordered Wilwood rotors from Summit and modified my rotor adaptors to mount them and once the rotors were installed I was able to get dimensions to fabricate the caliper mounts. To date I have never heard from Tobin again and he never returned the rotor adaptor I sent him. No Explanation, no communication, nothing. In order to keep my build on schedule, I fabricated the parts I needed and ultimately finished my 9" floater brakes.
