Corvette Brake Conversion

Here is one I found a couple of years ago. I have NOT verified fitment with Blazer spindles. View attachment 165585

Little late on the response thanks for the info. Im am still am way from actually needing brakes, but Im getting pretty close. Finished the front suspension this morning. Steering is complete minus the steering shaft between the column and box. Once I get that squared away Ill be moving on to my braking system.

You need Blazer adapters for the Vette calipers to fit properly. Then you can use all C5/C6 stuff for the brake calipers, pads and rotors.

Got it OK, I figured as much thanks for the info

'93 - Early '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Steering hafts are a direct bolt in Universal Joint shaft to replace the factory rag joint shaft.

Astro Van Shafts can be made to work too with a little bit of work.

ended getting a 1" 48 spline u-joint, a 3/4" 36 spline u-joint then cut a piece of 3/4DD to fit. Works and looks great.

That looks great, but I’d much prefer to have either a slip or rag joint in there somewhere only for the reason of not loading the column bearings.

Yikes. Don't get into a offset front end crash with anything bigger than a Honda Accord.

I agree. Schrapnel from an airbag is bad, but having the column pogo into your face will be worse.
