LG's fbody to c5 brake brackets
LG's brake brackets work with lt1 spindles?
Will the Lt1 spindle work with LGmotorsport C5 to Fbody brake bracket or will I need to get my hands on LS1 spindles? Thanks Cameron

Seems stupid to me that LG wouldnt make a bracket like yours that can work with either spindle

i was watching i horsepower tv about a week ago and they did a c5 brake conversion on a 96/97 LT1 SS and i dont remember them changing teh spindles, they just cut off the lower part of teh spindle and bolted up the brackets , it was a repeat btw

The brackets I've got aren't fitting correctly I've removed .30 on one edge of the bracket and also the two of the fins on the caliper. The spindle has to be clearanced for the caliper about .20 and the two of the bolt hole need to be redrilled to match the size on the abutment bracket. I paid 250. for this brack if I had to do it again I'd use Bob Bishop's bracket. RRRRR
