I might be getting some C5 front/rear brakes free - Lateral-g Forums

Correct Me If I Am Wrong, But The C5 Rear Calipers Do Not Have An E-brake Attachment. The E-brakes Have Shoes That Sit Under The Rotors That Attach To A Backing Plate. I Believe They Will Have The E-brake Shoe Set Up For A 9" Rear Soon, But Not For A 10/12 Bolt. As Far As I Know To Use Rear C5 Brakes You Will Need To Fab Your Own E-brake System If You Are Using A Gm 10/12 Bolt.

Forgive me for my lack of technical knowledge here. This has been a real adventure for me and I'm still learning. On the set up I have the E-bakes shoes sit under the rotor cap like a C. A small arm (like an L) come out of the backing plate and is supposed to attach to the cable. I haven't gotten to the point of attaching the cable and I have been told that I'll need to install a custom set up for it to work. I'd attach a picture to better illustrate what I am doing such a poor job of describing, but I'm on the road and don't have a picture from that shows what I'm talking about. I of course could be totally wrong and way out in left field.

I suggest calling Tyler at ATS (702-245-6305) and asking him more info about this. I know he's installed this set up on a few cars.

I just found this thread and it has some great photos. It's the same set up that I have with the exception of the plate that attaches it to the rear end.

I was down at ATS last week and he had intstalled the C5 set up on a 69 Camaro with a Fab 9. The backing plate is just like the one in the pictures on the thread I posted. It's really a nice set up and real slick to install. That and it looks cool. lol

Give Tyler a call, he's really good to deal with and always willing to give advice and help with know how.
