Default Measurements for Big Brake Kit

Does anyone have measurements of the Brakes/Hub area???? I am trying to get a Big Brake kit made and they need a ton of measurements of the Rotors, Hub and Uprights...

I tried taking them once and it seems I'm Caliper challenged, I kept getting different readings on each attempt... If anyone has taken measurements it would sure help!

Thanks!

No clue who is making it but I would lay the responsiblity on them because if it doesn't fit then what? Second option is buy from a manufacturer who has a kit and a template drawing of their caliper you can fit into your rim.

if the company does not know what size fits a vette, maybe that is a sign to NOT use them.

Who are you using?
