Re: 1958 SWB C4 Fleetside - NZ Build

Went to go and mount the C5 rotors and calipers today and hit a snag ......

Never checked when I received the front kit when i was shipped it last year and its an 84 C4 Corvette front end ..... NOOOOOOOO. Im 90% sure I asked for 85-87 but ive changed ISP's and cant find my old emails to hit Don up about it.

Regardless of that, I located an 85 LH front spindle (probably the only spare one in New Zealand and it was free) so I snapped it up. now to find a RHS one...

-----------

As you can see the 85 is slightly different to the 84. (refer attached image)

The 85 has 14mm mounting holes vs the 84's 12mm holes
The 85 slightly rebates from the hub mounting face vs the 84's flat face.
I know it not much but those 3mm are needed for the bracket/spacer to mount the C5 caliper which is 8-9mm thick.

If I cant find one local I guess Ill have to scour craigslist and ebay.

If i can find someone local with some 86-87s then ill just grab them as they are the same as 85s but with ABS holes (which i can blank).

So Annoying.
