      Template for LS1 fbody or C6 brakes in 2nd gen F-body?

      I recently was able to buy back my old 76 Trans Am that I sold almost 20 years ago. It is almost 100% disassembled so I am starting from scratch. I have a few sets of LS1 f-body calipers in my attic so I was hoping to find a template to make a bracket to install them.

      Yes, I know I can buy them online for like $70, but I'd rather make my own. I plan on building as much myself as I can on this thing.

      Understand what you're saying and I tried to do the same thing. Put LS1 brakes on my 64 Chevelle and found a great deal on brake brackets on ebay.

      Looked and it doesn't look like there's any for sale. I would contact this seller: https://www.ebay.com/sch/metaltekmfg...1&_ipg=&_from=

      Ask him if they plan on selling these any time again. I got the brackets for $35.

      I had to add a 1/2" spacer to work on my 2" drop spindles.

      I'd picked up the "LS1" brake setup from LKQ on Wendover/70, think I paid around $200 for rotors, calipers, hoses, parking brake cables, etc. Came off a 2000 Camaro w/ V6 but same brake setup as the LS1.

      I have the metal, CAD software and a mill here, so it isn't really about how cheap they are. It's about making my own stuff. On my 98 TA when I went to the bigger Vette front brakes I made my own brackets too even though they were cheap to buy.
