Just wanted to take a second to let everyone know that these things are awesome, they bolted right on and fit and work perfectly! I really belive they were a big help in my podium finish at the Nats, it is nice to know that your brakes are cool coming down that hill into turn 4. WooHoo. Thanks Alan

If you are trimming the upright bosses and using the Trackbrackets then my C5 on Lt1 set will fit. If you are using LG or other brackets that clock the calipers then I'd have to do a new model. |

I'm using Kevin's trackbrackets on LS1. C5 Corvette Rotors. That's all I did was trim the boss (originally for Baer GT+, but now using Trackbrackets) |

I'm using the Trackbrackets setup, so I guess it should work for me! Thanks! |

Thanks, Eugenio - Can you post a pic of the bracket you are using? All of the BlaineFab duct plenums look very similar to the LS1 set in the opening post - there are only variations in OD and the position of the caliper clearance offset. |

I have a set of brackets and hub not on the car... I'll mount them and take a few pix and post them... hope that will help. |

From what I can see... it won't interfere w/ anything.... since it goes inside between the spindle and disk.
Anyways, I'll see if I can snap some pix asap. Thanks for those pix. |

Ok, might be changing cars.
Where do I find rotor ducts for a 85 Camaro with 1LE brakes? |

I'm working on duct plenums for the 3rd gen with a LS1 or C5 upgrade, but there is no room to get them into the stock/1LE 3rd gen brakes. I could whip up some simple ones that directed the cooling air at the inside face of the stock rotor, but they would not be as effective as my sealed plenums. |

QUOTE (Doug Phillips @ Feb 23 2008, 10:11 PM) Where do I find rotor ducts for a 85 Camaro with 1LE brakes? I don't mean to jump into Alan's thread, but I've got the thirdgen ducts available. I've got the 3rd gen spindle digitized, and have prototypes for the 1LE, LS1, and C5 conversions (they have different rotor locations and rotor ID's, so each spindle duct plate is specific to the brake kit). There isn't as much clearance with the 1LE rotor (compared to the C5/LS1 setup), but they are still sealed to the center of the rotor, so all the air is forced through. We're getting backing plates waterjet cut this week, and I'll be TIG welding the beaded 3" hose nipples if you need a set. If you need them right away, you're welcome to the prototypes, and we'll just exchange them once I get the production ones completed.
