I'm still searching for them C5 conversion brackets. Already sent a few PM/emails to Ed Miller but I got no answer.

Anybody know who else sells them brackets?

Good call. Find someone else. I used Touring Classics out of texas somewhere for my C4 swap. Guy called me back for technical help on e-brake cables WHILE he was on Hot Rod Power Tour. I made the mistake of using Ed miller for my rear brake brackets to convert my 9' ford to LT1 style rear brakes. Took him 2 months never returned e-mails and phone calls. Then claimed he was on vacation. Vacation for 2 months? whatever, I will never use him again. Oh yeah, When I got the brackets I had to re-work them anyway because the caliper was way too far off of the rotor.
how did you end up putting the rears on that ford 9" thats what I need to do next

I found a set in the yard today (98+ blazer) spindles I didnt pull them because someone got the hubs already and want to check another yard for a complete set before i buy just the spindle, if there isnt another set, imma pull them so I can move forward
had went back and picked up the hub-less spindles, along with some front ls1 calipers, which i will be selling along with a spindle set shortly!

got my bracket set in and am awaiting some brackets I am having made that are much cheaper than the ones i bought for myself... now that I got this stuff in, I see how to make it all work easily

my brackets are not straight across because I am going to be running big brakes (13.4 or 14")

these are c6 z51 PABs

in order to run these with the ls1 calipers (which bolt the same as c5/c6 dual piston) you just need to use the c5/c6 shims with it and the rest out of the ls1 hardware kit

since I will not be using the dust shields off the blazer spindles, I still needed to have the middle part, but I just ordered them, I will cut down the stock dust shield and sell it with the kit Im making with the ls1 caliper set up

I will be starting a write up shortly, with what Im doing to my set up
