It is getting closer to really happening. The adapter brackets are getting closer to being done, and the brake kit parts supplier is already in place.

RdRacerZ28 ... Bob has designed a 2nd Gen of the adapter bracket. Made out of T6 aluminum. It is currently being made, then, once it's been QC insp, it'll be released. I believe that all the kits that are being made in this first run are spoken for, with a few on a wait list.
I've already obtained a source for the brake parts kit, so it's just a wait on the adapter brackets so more enthusists will be able to enjoy confident braking at it's finest.

I've been making brakcets and kits for quite awhile and have a few people locally using the set-up. I don;t wanna step on Bob's toes though. Hopefully his will be done soon!

... my understanding is that the first batch of adapter brackets are spoken for. there is a waiting list after that for the second batch.

I know Bob has sent out an update to the first group, maybe he can pop in here to advise about the second run.

Send him an email with your request - lateapex@charter.net

I would rather not give specifics here, since I am not a supporting vendor. I have not yet discussed the subject of supporting this site with the vendor that will be selling my brake adaptor brackets (after this current batch, I will no longer be selling them directly). I will contact him next week and address that subject, if he is available. He is very busy, as he is the parts manager for a Chevrolet dealership, the crew chief for their racing team, and the main constructor of the race cars.

Until we are financially supporting this site, I will be glad to respond PRIVATELY to any emails.

Bob Bishop
