I may switch out my master to the right hand drive as well. Much cleaner, I hated having to run my lines from the prop valve over to the other side of the master. Quick question... Where did you get your hubs? I had to buy mine off of eBay... Are yours original gm hubs? When I tried to install new studs and went to drill them out they cracked around the stud. I did it to two of them. No matter what method or stud I used they cracked. I figured it was cheap quality of the ebay hubs. Did you have any issues or concerns installing the arp studs? Is there much material left between the outer part of hub and the arp stud? They look awesome. I just left the studs that came in the ebay hubs finally, but am a bit nervous about them. I didn't know if original gm hubs were any stronger or made of anything else. These eBay ones are like cast iron or something and seem fragile/weak.

Yes they are factory hub. I trust them much more than any new China part available. I posted a craigslist Add searching for hubs, I have several sets now. Stay away from hubs that have the flower shape in them. They are thin in critical areas. I didn't have any trouble drilling and tapping. The factory knurl is REALLY close to the size needed for tapping. Probly didn't even have to drill them.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered a set of the studs and some open end lug nuts. My brake setup I'm piecing together is so off the wall, I really hope I can make it work. I should have just went the easy route and got the Kore3 brackets and vette brakes.
Got my ARP studs today. I did not have to drill my hubs, the proper bit to drill before tapping the 1/2-20 was too small in my old stud hole already, just ran the tap through the stock hole like butter.

Are the fittings that would screw into the S10 master cylinder two different sizes? Looks like i'd need at least one of the brakequip #bq261 for the rear. Not real sure what to do with the front on mine, could a guy get away with just changing to a different distribution block and avoid the prop valve? Or would I need to change both the proportioning valve and the distribution block?

They are same sizes as the old factory m/c just reversed front and rear. So you could easily use the factory dist block by changing the small lines to the dist block. Rear m/c port to front brakes. Front m/c port to rear brakes.
The prop valve takes the place of the dist block to adjust rear brake biased.

Looks bad ***! And clean!
Quick question, not sure if it was mentioned anywhere in the thread or asked already... Does that S10 master cylinder bolt right up to the stock Chevelle booster, or are you running a different brake booster?

The master bolts right on. I'm using a stock replacement 11 inch booster, works great. If I was buying stuff from the start, I'd get a dual 9 inch (factory corvette size) to allow for huge cam. Pirate jacks out of North Carolina has the best deal on boosters or master/booster combos.
