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.

Just wanted to drop a quick memo on the products stock status. When something is out of stock and cannot be back-ordered, it basically means we do not know when we will have this available to purchase (no ETA) When you see “available to back-order or “available on back-order” It means you can purchase it, we have a ETA on the part being in stock or we have the part and there is just a wait to have it built or completed. Usually if we have it it can ship out right away or within a few days, this is of course with the exception of full spindle kits When you see “in stock”, This means it is in the shop and ready to ship minus any preparations or special customization’s, sometimes we have the parts to a bracket but they need to be welded and powder coated or we have the brackets and we need to tap and package them etc, but in general these are item’s we have and can be assembled to ship out within a reasonable amount of time. For the time being any full conversion kits with spindles will continue to show “available on back-order” […]

At this time most orders are running about 2-3 weeks, some longer. Some vital parts have been hard to acquire and one small part missing can hold up an order. These are all custom built parts and built per order so things take time. Please allow for this when you order and please be patient with us, we are working as hard and as fast as possible to get your order out to you. As much as I would like to stay in constant contact with all the customers it is just impossible, the emails could consume our whole day every day if we let it. If you have sent a question or are waiting on a response Please be patient we are working toward your response.
