I was reminded by my machine shop when I looked at the invoice for the aluminum billet bars. I can get 22 brackets from one bar, so it takes 2 bars to make 22 SETS. My machinist reminded me that if we ordered 3 bars, there would be the potential for 33 sets. We would simply machine 11 “lefts” and 11 “rights” from the third bar.
If I were to decide to make more, at today’s aluminum price, the brackets would probably sell for about $25 more per set. That may influence some people’s purchasing decision.

Count me in for the second batch if it happens. I'll pay in advance and you can refund me if it doesn't happen. How's that for 'serious'???

Woo Hoo!!!
I just got back in from Seattle late Sunday night, and as of an hour ago, I picked up my AWESOME new C5 brake adapters. THANK YOU BOB!!!!!!!
I do have one question for you though Bob, in looking at the parts list needed for the conversion, I was curious about the brake pad information.
It says the Z06 pads are recommended, however the Durastop Ceramics are a "good street pad" due to the low dust, lifetime warranty, etc. My question then is this, which one is better for the average street car making under 400 rwhp? Do the Z06 pads make that much difference or is it just a matter of the low dust that makes the Durastop Ceramics a better buy?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,
Darrin
