Late last year I had to drop the 1LE bearing hub option to lessen the load on my schedule, at first it was just a simple breakdown of the machine used to create them, then soon after a repair to that lathe a tool failure immediately followed. This stuff happens all the time but it was about the timing here, not the obstacles. Bringing these back for offer they will have the same set 6 race and set 3 race as before and will come with the 2.3 inch ARP M12 x 1.50 studs for now. I will build stock on these over the coming weeks so they are ready to go on demand. I will look at offering other stud options in the near future, fell free to inquire about that.

A pretty simple swap to upgrade the rear single piston 12.4 rotor brake to a 13.3 rear rotor with the stock caliper ( all bolt in ) The difference in a 20 inch wheel is really nice as the 12.4 just looks too small, with the near 1 inch larger rotor the front to rear proportions look much better. Just a simple bracket swap along with a new pair of rotors ! Now you need to be able to put the car in brake service mode, scanners and some other ways are possible but this is required to get the piston back into the calipers for the new pads and rotors, now- here is a look at stock And here is a look after the upgrade A decent up size for this LT1 car ! So to start, pull the rotor and caliper off Then the hub bearing, this is a fun one, the axle shaft has to be slide back to get on the 15mm hex headed bolts, an array of swivels and extension lengths and some patience and you can get the hub bearing out (so we can change the backing plate for a larger one) Drop your […]

Losing my life partner has been completely and utterly devastating. As the days go by the wounds remain open. I fear the avalanche of orders once I turn the site back on, I also welcome them. All I can say and you were most likely directed here to read this, is please, if you cannot have patience once your order is been placed at this time please, please wait until some of the fallout has settled before ordering. I am one man, I will always try to get your order out as fast as I can. Part orders I set aside a block of time in the morning to try and expedite, larger builds like assemblies take my afternoons, I was almost caught up when tragedy struck, so those few individuals deserve their orders completed asap. So I will clean up the backlog starting as soon as I can bring myself to the shop and open ordering sometime later this week I hope. As a guide line- rear park kits were two weeks to do before this, expect 3-4 possibly for those, front hub / knuckle conversions were a 10 day ordeal prior, part order 3-7 days…so please if you […]

Was my wife’s motto, also – adjust and adapt- In my thoughts and heart forever https://www.sullivanfuneraldirectors.com/obituaries/michelle-degeer/#!/Obituary

So our famous “All New rear park brake conversions” are officially over with- Yes GM discontinued the LH rear backing plate we used to make these wonderful set ups. I am actually surprised that they made them as long as they did, last production was 2015 model year and we just ran of out these a tad before the 10 years they promise to keep replacement parts….they probably didn’t plan on me using a few hundred of these over the past 8-9 years either though. So I have looked at newer plates to try and cobble a new set up together and they all have hurdles that make them less than attractive for this straight rear axle conversion I offered. So as all things come to pass, we have to adapt and adjust, the nice thing about new is I did not have to prep anything, just modify assemble and send it. I’m still going to offer these rear park conversions because frankly there is still nothing out there that compares and accepts so many different late model brake set ups- So that’s the good -we can still make them with reclaimed backing plates, – that’s the right word right?

I`m hearing from a few suppliers now that they wont attempt ordering anything due to the current UAW strike. While we try to maintain a small amount of the normal usage parts there maybe a time in the near future where we will not have instant access to some of the parts we normally would order per order like most of the GM calipers rotors we use. For now it seems our supply chain is in working order and we are double ordering some items to be sure we have at least a larger stock than normal but who knows where this can go, just a FYI for today.
