Those of you running Fbody/Vette brakes

Bumpin this back up. I'll do these Fbody brakes someday. Just curious where a guy buys a banjo bolt for the Fbody caliper.
 


I ran Pep Boys premium rotors, no problem there, but even with the less aggressive ceramic pads I "Clam-shelled" the Flimsy F-body Calipers almost immediately. If you plan on ANY real hard braking, spend the extra 50 bucks up front and get corvette C5/C6 calipers. Bought mine new with all the hardware, including banjo bolts and washers for 50 more than I had spent on rebuilt Camaro (F-Bod) Calipers. I posted Pics of the whole deal in another thread. One note of importance if using the C5/C6 Cals., You will likely have to belt sand/die grind/hand file-whatever, the upper tab on the outer pad a tiny bit in order to get it to sit FLAT against the Caliper frame. Here's the post with Pics on the first page <http://www.grandprixforums.net/threads/59497-brake-upgrade-questions> Regards, Mike
