.......... C4 Corvettes have disc brakes at all four corners ... no drums to cover unless you consider the drum emergency/parking brakes that are inside the rear rotors on the disc brakes of the '84-87 cars .........

I think his clock is fast, its more than a month to the first of April. He may have ment those disks that fit inside the aluminium wheels and keep brake dust off the outside but they block the air flow also and heat up the brakes.

I told Dan that some vendors had covers for the rotors that covered the rusted area. I also told him he could paint them but I did not think it would hold up well.
Speed bleeders are available at the local auto parts stores for about $ 10.00 for a pair of them.
