Default Where can you get caliper mounting hardware

besides DRM ?

For the 84-87 C4s to use the 13" brakes from the ZR1.
I already have a set of calipers and the rotors are priced right at rockauto. So I'm thinking of doing this instead of the C5 brake upgrade. I have also read somewhere that these DRM brackets don't fit perfectly and need some massaging. Anyone have experience with these ? Thanks.

There was a guy here on the forum that was a supporting vendor that sold them. I think his forum name was gene282 or something like that. But the company was electromotive. He made those brackets and ones for the large porsche calipers and rotors.

It's Electro-Dynamics and their prices are $$$$ considering it is just a slab of cheap aluminum..

I would say their prices are more like $$$$$ (5 $'s=AAA code for the highest level of cost).

I have just finished ordering parts for my brake conversion.

Ed Salinas brackets
superchevyperformance.com the other required brackets.

Guys thanks for the input. The only parts I saw on Electro-Dynamics web site was for the C5 upgrade. So it looks like I will just get the 13" rotors and make my own adatper to mount the ZR1/GS caliper. Any info to help me out with that route would be appreciated. Thanks.
