Great job Rob and Clayton! Setup looks great thanks for taking the time to share the process.

[@blutorlz3]

Any 1st gen s truck guys should check out the blazer steering knuckle swap. You can use the same Camaro dual pistons used here, but you don’t need to turn down the s10 spindles. Just get the knuckles and hubs off a 2000 or so blazer. Then you can fab brake adapters out of half inch bar stock, which lets you space the caliper out. I’ve got mine running 13.4” z51 corvette rotors and the Camaro calipers. You will have to run 17” rims to clear this setup.

[@shadymaint1]

I was going to do this swap on my s10. Ended up just going with 98+ Blazer knuckles and brakes. Rotor size is not much different but the duel piston calipers are a big upgrade over the S10 calipers.

[@danieltiner7954]

The s10 is one sweet ride. I can’t wait to see it finished

[@jdnewsome1247]

You guys should make up some kits and sell this on Ebay. Most gearheads don't have the equipment to do the proper machine work. We didn't see how you made the pattern for the adapter brackets. I think 95% of the guys doing a build would pay to buy bolt on kit from you instead of taking a chance of ruining the spindles and hubs. Good job !

[@proxstang]

JD Newsome The bracket dimensions are proprietary to SPPTV! Just kidding, maybe Rob can put up the link to the dimensions of the bracket.

[@jeffyjoebob8300]

Clayton SPPTV I'd buy a spptv brake conversion kit

[@proxstang]

Jeffy joebob I’m not sure that would be cost-effective after you include shipping me your old rotors and me shipping them back. The adaptor brackets could be made easily enough by hand and any local machine shop should be able to mod your rotors fairly cheap. Look for the link to the thread in the video description for the step by step process of doing this conversion

[@Badlatitude]

Beautiful work guys! I can't see this being very economical without having a buddy who is a master machinist lol

[@proxstang]

John Muldoon Getting a local machine shop to turn the rotors into hubs would cost an estimated $100/$150. The brackets can be fabbed by hand easy enough. Definitely not a job requiring a million dollars in CNC equipment. I have access to it so why not, right?

[@proxstang]

[@jmshaw357]

What an asset to have a machinist who will make your ideas happen. In my town I go to a machinist to get this work done and they all say Oh you can't do that, we don't do custom made parts. It troubles them to think, they only want to do easy work which requires no thinking.

That's pretty cool way to do a brake upgrade. I just might have to store this idea away in my head. It's pretty awesome that Clayton gets to do all that at his work. I don't get to do personal machining work at my job. That's why I have machines at home.

[@petercarbone5961]

great vid guys, only thing you got wrong was the rotors went to the wrong side of the car than they were meant to

[@proxstang]

Peter Carbone The direction only applies to a directional vaned rotor, in this case they are not directional so that doesn’t apply

[@petercarbone5961]

the slots are cut directionally though so putting the rotor on so that as they rotate with the car the slots eject any loose brake dust

Rob, what is your opinion on the machined diameter of the hub to rotor clearance? Yours were machined to .005 over the rotor size but how critical is this? I am at about the same point on my Buick GN and am seriously considering trying to grind them with a flap wheel. I believe the lugs locate the rotor and the hub to rotor clearance is a non critical dimension. Thoughts??

[@proxstang]

Justin Philipps You’re right, the bearing nose of the hub would locate the rotor along with the studs but I figured I’d make it all fit nice and tight everywhere just for added support/strength

[@willnotcomply5420]

Thanks for all the help there Mike... Mike?. Nice work gentlemen.

[@scyth625]

Please do this for a C10 some time. They have kits but are way too expensive I think. I did the front already as the '71 and '72 c10s come with disc brakes. Bought a '72 rolling frame for $200 with working brakes.

[@ACELABUTSA]

Looks great. Although there are so many videos on youtube these days that are DIY this or that and require $100,000 machines. Not sure about yall but i think DIY has changed from hack it together in your mothers garage to - > you have access to lathes plasma tables CNC machines. Either way great series i ve learned alot.

[@Matp345]

SweatPantsPosseTV 👍🏻👍🏻 thank you!

[@jayinmi3706]

From some of the threads I've followed, it seems that 5.85" is the usual diameter they machine the rotors down to. I guess there's some variance on the inside of the Camaro rotors. Same thread also suggests making sure to use a 12.5mm drill bit to open up the stud holes. A few people have cracked their new hubs by using too small of a drill bit. The other suggestion I've seen said to put the studs in FIRST before turning the rotor down, but I don't know if that would be a problem for the machine shop. Hope this info is useful for someone. Great video, guys. Answered a couple of questions I had. I watched this right before I was going to head off to the Junkyard for Camaro brake parts. lol

[@proxstang]

JayinMI True, I measured up the ID of the new rotors to have minimal clearance. My logic is it will give extra support and location on the new rotor

[@hammerhead2558]

Great looking work. I've done this before and always wondered if the master cylinder is putting out the volume to actuate the caliper properly. Like your doing I left the original master in place and didn't upgrade. In this case it would be adding a camaro master to have the proper volume for those massive calipers. Might have been in my head but mine never seemed to be an upgrade at all but the opposite. Enjoying the videos. Keep up the great work.

[@waynebodine9494]

I cut cast iron for a living, yes, you need coolent, especially to retain a nice finish. (I am a cnc op for a large company)

[@SPPTVarmy]

Generally speaking, the graphite in the cast iron acts as a lubricant. For tight tolerance deep hole machining coolant can help but otherwise coolant is only used to keep dust down (been machining for 30yrs but thankfully haven’t touched dirty ass cast iron in the last 5yrs)

That driver's side rotor doesn't look true. It's probably just that it's not pushed up fully against the old hub and will be fine when you get the wheel and the lug nuts on, but it looked like you had it on there with a tight fit when you tapped it on with the mallet. I suppose you'll know soon enough when you get the wheel on and spin it. Anyway, I enjoy the videos. You guys have made me decide to finally learn how to weld. I've been missing out on some pretty cool stuff without that ability. And that machine work was bad ass!

[@DeFreshS10]

Did you factor in stress concentrations with having the bolt holes be that close to the edge?

[@turbotempest4095]

I suspect this upgrade may perform better with an F-body master cylinder. What I know without a doubt is that rubber brake lines rot from the inside out. I know this is a budget build, but used rubber brake lines? Spend the extra $100 and put braided steel lines on it. Having done this on my 99 Formula... the improved feel, and stopping power of the brakes are worth every penny.

[@KidKool31yo]

SPPTV Awesome cheap brake upgrade on your S10. I have a question though. When you cut the spindles for the abutment brackets, wouldn't you have been better off leaving the material underneath the bracket and drilled bolt holes through it? You could have had a bolt going all the way through the casting, through the bracket, and into the abutment. As it is now the whole caliper assembly is hanging off a 5/16" thick bracket. Or if you had left the material there, would you need the bracket at all? Is there a clearance issue or something I'm missing? Love watching you guys, keep up the good work.

[@novaracer2000]

KidKool31yo no, the bracket wont fit without cutting that material off

[@KidKool31yo]

I'm not talking about the straight cut. I'm talking about drilling holes through the spindle after he made the straight cut.

[@novaracer2000]

KidKool31yo it needs to be clearanced for both is what im saying. the abutment bracket would not fit.

[@novaracer2000]

After thinking about it for a bit, it might be possible to do what youre saying. Im not sure if there was enough meat there to drill a good hole plus i dont think the backside was flat so you would have to grind it down to give the bolt head a good surface to grab on. I just did it the way i read about it on s10forum.

You have your Rotors on the wrong side the Air shouldn't be getting sucked into the middle of the Hub it should be getting pushed to the outside of the rotor. The way you have it Negates any airflow cooling the channels may provide. You're basically running a turbo compressor backwards which won't create any air flow... Unless you're driving backwards really really fast.
