I'm doing a brake upgrade to my S10 and was wondering if anyone knows if the "CORVETTE" lettering is on the Autozone calipers? On their site it doesn't show it, but the picture looks like a stock photo.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of the brackets that hold the caliper to the stock spindle?

You can grind off the lettering. Contact Marc at VetteNuts.com for the brackets.

Yes I know, I'm wanting the lettering to show and an wondering if the autozone rebuilt ones have the lettering ground down or not.

Go to an autozone store and ask to see the calipers. The C5 Corvette-specific calipers should have the lettering on them. It may be that other GM cars used the same caliper and they would not have the lettering. Try the early Cadillac XLR calipers; that car is a C5 Corvette platform but they may not use the Corvette caliper.

There's no reason whay the lettering can't be ground off; it just takes some extra work.

As far as brackets, I would think those would be a custom bracket. Have you tried some S10 forums??

With that conversion, you may have to change the master cylinder to be able to have the necessary fluid volume. Also if you aren't going with rear discs, you may also have to add an adjustable brake bias valve for the rears.

I believe when they rebuild them GM makes them remove the lettering. Check Kore3 for brackets that's who most 1st gen Camaro guys use when upgrading.

Thanks, I did not know that.

Yes I they're custom adapter brackets; however, this is the bracket I'm talking about:

I already have rear disc brakes and the stock master cylinder works with the Vette calipers.
