My guess is that it was a type-o of some kind. It was probably 5/16" instead of 5/6".

Thanks for the info 6LITEREATER.

Your bracket DOES NOT bolt to the LT1 spindle.

The C5 rotor is 12.8 "
lt1 guys need to switch over to ls1 spindles. i've read it on all the c5 rotor conversion swap threads there are on here lol. so yeah lt1's need ls1 spindles for the brackets to fit.

There are alot of brackets that will bolt to the LT1 spindle.
You WILL have to do some cutting.

ok now for a new twist to the 'brake line length' question.

I have a 93 T/A, and have 02 Z06 rotors, calipers and discs -but not on car yet.
The UMI C5 adapter kit will be here in a day or 2. I have a BMR k-member and Earls braided brake lines on the car already.

Is it likely Im going to have an issue with my lines being too short?

thanks john

Nope. Corvette's have a 17" front wheel to clear the 13" front rotor. F-bodies had a 12" front rotor and had 16" front wheels. Some people cram 15" wheels on but usually had to grind the caliper for clearance.
