I'm local to you and would consider bringing you my existing 9" rear to have you install this for me. Do you have a rough idea of install cost? I won't hold you to it, not looking for a firm estimate.

Also, If I have non-e-brake C5 Z06 rear brakes on the car now (Kore3), would your complete kit & parking brake work with my existing rear brakes?

It should work depending the the rotor that you have whether it has a shoe hat or not. This would replace your Kore# bracket and rear end flange. Caliper should work fine.

Jay,

Have you considered sub-contracting a fab shop to do the installs for you? Someone you could provide the fixtures to and then could recommend or send your customers to have the ends installed? That would keep you from having to enter the fabrication end of the business, unless that is something you want to do. It would also build a dependable fabrication capability with someone who would then have experience with your product, eliminating the trial-and-error scenario with a bunch of different shops with unknown capabilities.

I can throw my hat in that ring as well. I have the necessary tooling and am far enough away from Vince that I don't think he'll be mad.:lol:

Good call Vince, didn't think about rotors having the shoe hat or not. I'll have to check on that.

I'm a fabricator with 10 plus years of customer fab experience I'd be interested north of the border...farther from all of you lol

So you just mean, a non-2 piece rotor/lightweight hat kind of setup.

Pappy, GREAT suggestion. I would love to work with a good group of guys that could offer installation. That would be a huge help to me and a great convenience to others wanting to run this setup that may not have the ability to take advantage of the fixture pieces I am loaning.

The ONLY down side I see is the shipping costs that are involved with shipping housings to & from, and was why I came up with the idea to "loan the proprietary tools" necessary to get it done. With that said I would be completely grateful to those fabricators willing to provide your services! :thankyou:

Pappy, Vince, Donny, and Ryan, first off, THANK YOU. Maybe you three can PM me your addresses/phone numbers so that I can list in my 1st post as sources that are willing/able to get it done! It will be up to you guys if you want to list a price to install the Flange Ends or choose to quote over the phone?

As for you JKnight - PM me your contact info and I will give you a shout tomorrow and will tackle yours.

Jay

I wanted to add some information about these parts. I would have thought someone might have asked by now, but since no one has, I'll just provide the information in a Q&A format :D

Question: "Will I be able to install your C6 Flange Kit while maintaining my same Wheel Mount Surface measurement?

Answer: YES, and depending on what Flange End you currently run and will be cutting off, will ultimately determine if you will require a 1/2" wheel spacer. Again, this is based on your current flange end. Different manufactures are different in length. For example, IF your current Big Ford (Torino) Flange End is 2" long from the face to were it welds to your axle tube,,,, then by the time you cut the Big Ford Flange End off and install this C6 Kit, you would require a 1/2" wheel spacer to obtain your current WMS to WMS measurement. BUTTTTTT, IF your current flange end that will be cut off is 1-1/2", you will NOT require any wheel spacer to obtain your existing WMS to WMS.

Hope this makes sense. I have also posted a question in the "Sticky" in the suspension thread area for hopefully Ron Sutton to chime in on as to the acceptance of this 1/2" wheel spacer if it should be needed to obtain your existing WMS. Hopefully that was the right area.

Thanks, Jay
