dkkustoms Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 If you can mass produce them go for it. I thought about doing it when I first started looking into the front brackets but haven't had time to yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySilveradoSS Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 if it's cheaper, i could get mine raw. I've got a buddy that anodizes, so he could do it for cheap for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged06SS Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 dunno if anyone is interested, but I might be doing another Group Buy of Z06 Rear Brackets once I ship out the first series. Should have more info next week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndySilveradoSS Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 so blown, ur making brackets for a 6 piston caliper on back, meaning we'd have to buy 4 front calipers, and four 15" rotors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersub Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 no one, to my knowledge, makes a 15" rear rotor, so they would have to be 14", presumably? It can be done! I have the template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkkustoms Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Good news and bad news. I've got 60 of them sitting on my desk. Found the hardware I was desperately trying to find, thanks again Ray. We fixed to way oil problem from last week. Now for the bad. Unfortunately we had another slight hiccup with our CNC. Apparently the belleville springs that hold the tool holder, which holds the tooling were snapped. It dropped down and whipped out a 4" surface cutter, moved one of the machining vises over 6" and damaged the taper on the head. We spent most of Thursday and Friday fixing the machine and its looking pretty good. So should be up and running on Tuesday. Sorry for the delays guys. I know you guys are chomping at the bit to get these things and trust me, there is nobody that wants these things done more than me. I've only worked 3 days in the last month and my wife is really really not happy that I keep spending more and more money on these things. Its costing me about double what I thought it was to make these things and I was being pretty generous at my budget. But in the end I know he final product will be worth it. So be patient they are coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged06SS Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 60?? holy crap!! busy busy man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkkustoms Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Should be done with the first run by the end of this week or beginning of next. I'd like to have 100 for a total of 50 sets. Like I said no work for most of this month and not much last gives me lots of time. Thats also why I'm so much money into these. Its not just the raw aluminum but all the 10.9 grade hardware for 50 sets, plus more for anodizing too. My wife is not happy right now. You should have seen her face when I told her I was spending two grand on rotors and calipers.
