Hallo.
I developed new 10mm steel mounting plates to make possible use with modern trw calipers and parking brakes.

Does wheel fits perfictly on axle without spacers? Yes!

Left with metal clip, right - factory clip )

Does it compatible with 15 inch wheel stock caprice wheel? Yes!
Does it possible to install bigger diameter brake disks? Yes!
Does this rear brake disks are vented? Yes!
How many parts are "non factory"? Mountig plates, one 14mm usual metal clamp
Bolts: all metric 10.9 including mounting to flange
Does leg parkinig brake works? ... Same as usual...
Parking brake clicks: AAAAAdjustable! 6~7 clicks.
Does all parts are domestic buying: Yes! Everywhere.
Do i have antoher same kind kit with bigger pads? Yes, for 17 inch impala wheel disks. There another bigger caliper with bigger brake pads.

How long i develops it? 1year 9months.
Is that so difficult to develop? Yes, very hard, but successfull work. This is all considering that I have a family with two small children.

I do not make brake bolt mod at this time.

Quite a few hits of interest but no replies. It's sounding as though you've devised a bigger brake option when limited to 15" wheels, and even a similar new larger option than stock for 17". I recall someone else across the pond looking to combine and machine EU rotors/hubs/calipers to work with our cars. Yours appears to be a scratch-built all-new backing plate to take more current design brake pieces?
Show off more pics - if not still secret stuff.

Is this mod more of a European thing? Is it difficult for you guys to get OEM parts?

I don't understand what the upgrade is, if the rotors are only 5 mm larger than OEM.

 

[Columbus]

Is it difficult for you guys to get OEM parts?

Easy! Everywhere.

 

[Caddylack]

Easy! Everywhere.

Okay.

So, in what way is this an upgrade over OEM parts?

 

[Columbus]

Do not know this upgrade or not, but job done. In my opinion this upgrade over stock drums and over difficult find stock rear brakes kit.
Remeber - i not use bolt mod at this moment.

He put disc brakes on a drum brake car. With readily available parts. And a home made bracket.

Right! 101% )

Ah, okay. I misunderstood.

This is probably similar to using rear brakes from a Trailblazer or S-10 or whatever, then. I'm all for readily available parts.

Try to use trailblazer parts in 15 inch stock wheels! Is it possible?

I know for sure they fit inside 16's, but not sure about 15's.

Very well. It sounds like then that there was no such thing as a rear disc 15" car. If that's the case then a good hack.

And I was thinking more Dr. Eevil v. Elon.

9c1?

 

[Columbus]

I owned 17 inch impala wheels and later one 15 caprice wheel for testing.

 

[Columbus]

I have two differnt calipers and lazer cuted backing plates for each kind caliper.
First for 15"(as you see on picture) and other for 17". All them on 300mm brake disks.

 

[96 Black]

What?

Perhaps lost in translation. I took that as Elon Musk and you reassuring him you pose no threat to his evil empire with your mod.

 

[96SSbbb]

Nice work comrade post up more pics when you can.

 

[Columbus]

Opel Insignia rear calipers and ATE w221 vented brake rear disk: 300mm, thinkness 22mm.
As you "see", one center cable are not custom... this is FORD!! 🤦‍♀️ 😂
Now are you feel that all parts are readily available and EASY buyng? 😀

Thinking to sell mount brackets in USA.

In the photo, do not take into account that the plywood mount and the caliper with bracket are in red. Now everything is sandblasted, painted silver and mounted on metal backplate.

 

[Columbus]

Want see bigger caliper with bigger pads?
