Default C5 brake adapter kit

Is the adapter kit to put C5 calipers on a C4 the same kit/brackets as used on a Firebird/Camaro

Default extrapolation = no

putting 99 camo calipers on an 86 vette requires different adapters than putting c5 calipers on an 86 vette.

I have the C5 brake upgrade on my 3 Gen Firebird
Also I have C5 brake upgrade on my C4 which is for sale

It is correct they use different brackets.

Are these the plans for making the brackets to adapt the C5 brakes to the C4's? If so I would like to have them as well.
