I figured I would share some brake components used on the 68 Camaro..

Front Brake kit: Wilwood C6 Corvette road race brake kit, 14.00 diameter rotor with floating hat/rotor x 1.25 thk rotor, 15H pads with W6A calipers with thermlock pistons, 1.62/1.12/1/12 pistons



Rear Brake kit: rear kit was put together from a list of components I wanted to use, 12.88 diameter rotor x .810 thk rotor( wanted to keep rotational weight down), BSL caliper with 1.12 pistons, 15E pads,.. The goal for the use of these parts was to keep piston knock back down to a minimal & keep rotational weight down.. Plus you don’t need a lot of rear brake.. We were not trying to fill up the wheel with brakes.. wanted function & reduced weight.. Waiting for the rear floating hat combo from Wilwood.. That will also help with piston knock back.. There are a few other things I also did that I will disclose later when I know it works



The Master cylinder is a 7/8 bore.. Worked out great.. Got about 3/8 “ travel for brakes to start stopping the car… ½ “ travel & it is nosing down the front of the car..
