I bought these C5 adapters from a member thinking they were UMI since they look similiar but after looking at more pics of the UMI adapters I see these pieces I have are different. Anybody know who makes these and also, bonus question: which adapter goes on which side of the vehicle? ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

Pics of the adapters put together which shows the bolt holes are all in the same place.

They look close to the original "Bob Bishop" brackets?

KORE3 brackets look a lot different in this picture: http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10105-01
I had to grind down either the nut on the spindle or grind down the adapters to get them to fit correctly so the adapters aren't perfect as far as their dimensions go.
So, which one goes on the drivers side? On the top pic, it's the one on the left, correct, because that's the way I put them on

Thank-you! I looked at their website and those look like the exact thing. I also searched and saw found a few older posts about their adapters: apparantly not bad quality just a little heavier because of thick steel and cheaper than most.

X2. I'll buy from him. Cheaper and reply email fast. Maybe I'd have a machine shop weld the "Middle brace" if you feel like. The only thing is, he charge $25 for the mounting hardware on the "bay".

For anyone else that has these or is buying them, he said that the side of the adapter with the extra metal goes to the bottom of the bracket so that is the opposite of what I have them mounted.
