Ed, I've left you a PM, and tried calling a few times....I'm not sure if you frequent these boards anymore, but if you do, I want to buy your C4 HD front conversion brackets and C4 HD hubs.

Has anyone been in contact with him lately??

I tried several times w no luck. I just did a c4 hd swap and got all the info from Luke staff and made the brackets myself.

Keep calling every day until someone finally answers or calls back. That's the only way I've managed to get in touch with him for the past year.

I need the 12"C4 rear PBR conversion stuff, I can't get a hold of him either, money burnign hole in my pocket. Also need some hubs. I don't want the bigbrakeupgrade hubs, I had to have them zinc plated, they came bare and with junk chinese bearings.

Joe picked up new 1LE rotors and cut them down to make hubs. I think we could have used a reg rotor and a tad thinner adapter bracket.
He is running 97 polished WS6 wheels and now needs a 1.25 spacer instead of the 2".
And the 2" spacer that this site says to use on the rear is a bit to much, I like 1.5"s. It looks waaaay better.
Either way its on and they work as good as they look..

Call Baer or Hawks and get aluminum hubs. Thats what I run on 3 of my cars (I know, baller status haha) I like them and they will put in what ever studs you want for a tad extra.

You have to use the 1LE rotor, I tried it with a normal hub and the bracket would be much too thin, you absolutely need the bigger rotor offset. I tried it, it's a no go.

There is plenty of meat on the caliper bracket to mill a tad off but then you couldnt resell it if you had to..

Off the caliper abutment? That's the last thing I would do.

Y not? Im not talking about 1/2 of it just a tad along with the thinner bracket like Baer uses on their kits. Im bettn it will work with the stock rotor hub.
1/16-1/8th off that and the same on the spindle where the "L" brackets bolt on and I'm thinking it will work.
Esp after seeing how many shims we had to use to space the caliper outward..

My brackets for the Baer system are about half as thick as everyone sugest using anyway..

I have Ed's brackets and the rest is baer stuff and 1LE hubs. No shimming required.

Joe made his hubs from 1LE rotors and made his own brackets from recommended thickness from this site I think. That would be the difference.
My baer stuff on the front has no shims either.
The Baer brackets on my Moser 9" have shims on one side and none on the other..

Checked the abutments I have lying around and you're right, the area where the bolt threads in is stepped inwards, would be easy to mill a bit off there.

Try calling in the evening between 7:00 and 8:00PM. I'm told that you can safely order off the website but you need to be patient as far as shipping goes. Some some brackets were ordered for me nearly a month ago and they've just been delivered.

Hope this helps.

Jon.

Ordered the 10bolt/PBR conversion plates online and got ahold of his wife everytime I called. He processes quite the amount of orders but they eventually got to me after about a month, maybe 6 weeks...

I assume you are calling this number?

You can order online but just be patient.
