Yes in my opinion the 01 and newer blazer is an easier alternative. While you're there grab the rear fist. Everyone wants Camaro for bragging rights. But for the rear S-10 Blazer is is also easier to incorporate parking brake without fabrication

Nice video and forum thread! Very helpful. For this application, do you have to indicate the face of the S10 rotor to a certain spec, when turning on the lathe??

Hey Tommy. Do you have the drawings for the bracket? Also, would a 15" rim fit that setup?

So for the wheels what will be the new offset to clear the calipers and rotors?

I am swapping to blazer rear disc and c5 front brakes. I'm trying to figure out what master cylinder to use. what master and prop valve did you end up using?

Badass!

Just a question…it looks like your abutment bracket sticks out farther than the hub face. Does the back of the wheel clear the abutment bracket?

Any concerns after some time with your upgrade Camaro Brakes on your S10 ? any changes you would make different? Thank

Pretty neat setup, but not having access to all the shop equipment…. I think I’ll stick to the plan of swapping to 98+ Blazer spindles.

What’s the size of the 3/8 steel stock that you used?

I did the 2000 Jimmy spindles swap on my 83 cutlass Supreme and drop like 2 or 3 inch I really don't know if they did spindles drop on the Jimmy

Hey, do you have the .DXF for the bracket?

Yeah but , just how do you get the brake rotors to play music , and they know when to stop whenever you start talking , did you train them or do they do it by themselves

Do u have a pdf file for the brakets you cut out on the plasma table

Does the rotor/hub have to be milled down on the back where the studs press in? Or is it just for looks?

@CheekyGarage

3 жыл бұрын

It doesn't have to be milled down. I just did it to clean it up. Once the rotor is turned down on the lathe, that part is pretty thin. It would probably be just fine to take it down with a grinder if you don't have access to a mill.

Hey cheeky what kind of lathe setup did you use for the hub? With my lathe machine I feel like it’ll take me days before its cuts it to size! Please sum insight i knows its been awhile

I got c5 breaks on my Chevelle with hydro boost. Stopping is nothing I think about anymore. My 2000 s10 extreme if I were to upgrade I'd go with 2wd blazer breaks. Bolt on duel piston setup should give noticable improvement.
