Q's re: Corvette Engineering Brake Kits....
So I am starting the install tonight of the Talladega's up front and the Blackhawks in the rear and had some questions I was hoping to get some quick answers to....
1. On the fronts, the brackets do not indicate driver/passenger or left/right. Each bracket could fit on either side so should the nuts welded on the brackets face inwards or outwards?
2. On the rear, the brackets have a bit of a step to them and would also appear to mount on either side. Does the upper/stepped part of the brackets face inward or outwards?
3. Both front and rear, the instructions call for 90degree 3-an to 1/8th fittings but he only sent me two out of the four total needed. I went to local parts store and found some fittings but without the 90 bend. Is the bend crucial to either the front or rear installl?
Thanks
Shane

1 & 2 - I remember thinking the same thing when I first looked at the kit. Can't tell you off hand, but once you get into the install, it becomes obvious which one is left and which is right.
3 - Yes, you need the 90 degree fitting to get the hoses routed correctly. I'd drop an email to Keith requesting the missing parts. He's great to work with.

Now I am having problems with the rears and getting them to fit properly. They are significantly off center. They suggest adding washers as shims in the instructions but it is off in the opposite direction.
