Default FS: Still in box unused Bob Bishop front brake brackets...

Southern Cali only, these were purchased by me on this site by the way...
Bob Biship made one final run of brackets prior to him "retiring" from making these things himself, they originally ran over $300.00 I recall, I am asking $200.00 firm, you just need to come and pick them up...

Pics of the brackets, they're works of art...The paper is the instructions with links to installation procedures...




Closer view...

Basically they allow you to install the C5/Z06 calipers AND the C5/Z06 rotors, it puts the C5 calipers in the correct position in order for you to replace your factory rotors for the C5 rotors, which are bigger than our standard 98-02 rotors...
