GnatGoSplat Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Does anyone know a place that can take rotors with a 120.65mm bolt pattern and redrill them to fit our bolt pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 A machine shop may be able to do that. Got any around you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted May 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I have no idea whether there are any machine shops around here or not. I guess I'll check the yellow pages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian89gp Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 There are a few in Springfield. What rotors you wanting to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Any recommendations? I'm thinking to use C5 Corvette rotors if I can have some custom brackets made up for Z06 calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 i was thinking of making a longer bracket to use the stock calipers/mounts. looks like you can grind the welds off a factory bracket to get it off the spindle, and use it as a template to make/have one made that extends it out farther to fit a bigger rotor, as long as the rotor hub is the same depth this would work.

brian89gp Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 you need to talk to pocket-rocket, he has something like that done brakewise on his car. They are some Corvette HD rotors, 13" up front i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP207 Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 He is running the RSM kit. They use ZR1 brakes IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Yeah, the RSM kit uses C4 brakes and rotors, but it runs $1400!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 My dad could do it, but you probably wouldn't want to ship them clear to a little town in Ohio just to get them done. I wouldn't be suprised though if they ask to keep them for a couple days, just to get them all right. I know whenever my and my dad go to his shop to work on stuff, or to make custom stuff, he takes like a million measurements, and he is very precise. Also, be ready to cash out a little money too.

slick Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 I also forgot to mention that some of the other guys that work at the same shop bring in there engines and do a lot of porting, polishing, and valve jobs there. They mainly build custom, 1 of a kind machines for companys to make certain parts, like fuel rails for Ford, a bike frame for a Honda motorcycle, all kinds of stuff. They also do have the technology to make custom parts there, but thats not there thing. I'm sure if I could talk my dad into it, he could make a nice set of headers, even a full exhaust system. It just that it takes time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Yeah, I do wonder how much money it would cost. Redrilling rotors, is that expensive? If it's very expensive, I might be just as well off to elongate the existing holes by 2.5mm inwards using a Dremel. As far as the custom brackets, that would take numerous measurements for certain. I can imagine it would cost a lot of money, and I'd have to pay to get this done because I don't have access to milling equipment. The calipers and rotors themselves may end up being the cheapest part of the endeavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
