The Impala SS front rotors fit a truck spindle?

Oh my bad!! I didnt see a parts list where is the link? As far as the front rotors, yes they will fit. But you must have spindles for a 1 inch rotor. The Impala SS front rotor is the exact same thing as a 1 inch thick rotor on my truck. I know some spindles are 1.25 inches. I also bought a spindle that lowers my truck 3 inches.I bought a complete set of front and rear off ebay. So all you'll need for the front is:

94-96 Impala SS rotors
Spindles for 1 inch rotors.

There's a GM truck club we have here in South Carolina and a couple of guys have Impala SS slotted and drilled rotors on the front of their trucks. But still have the drums on the rear. But me, I'm doing a complete change to make my truck look more uniform.

Was the parts list not included inside the hardware bag sent with your brackets?

I didn't read this entire thread, but I have a question- do these fit a "big" 12 bolt brake pattern- like used on Impala's? I don't remember if the big pattern is on both trucks and Impalas or if they are different.

yes, the Impala SS uses the same 5x5 pattern as the truck. The only part that needs modification is the center hole on the rotors is slightly too small and needs opened up

The truck 12 bolt and the Impala 12 bolt both have the same backing plate bolt pattern. So these brackets will bolt up to a Impala 12 bolt but depending on the year, the wheel stud pattern will be different.

Hey Captain,

I need a set of your brackets shipped to ZIP 37343 (Tennessee). I need a total.

The way I understand it, I can use '94-'96 Impala SS Calipers, Rotors and Brake Lines for the installation. Correct?

Thanks, POP

[thompson1122]

Yes you must use the calipers, flex hoses, and hard brake lines. I ordered everything off of eBay. Everything was a direct fit.

[Captainfab]

I replied to your PM's........

Wanted to thank capt fab got the impala disk bracket and the power steering both are excellent and was a breeze to install would post a couple pics but for some reason I can't

[Captainfab]

Thanks for the positive feedback....I appreciate the purchase. If you are trying to post pics direct from your computer or phone, I believe you can not do that because you are not a paid member. You would first have to upload them to a photo hosting site such as photobucket and then post them from there.

These are laser cut out of 1/4" with 1/4" spacers stitch welded on and then tapped M12 x 1.25 for the caliper cage attachment bolts. The price on these is $75.00 plus a flat rate shipping of $7.15. PayPal is preferred, but I will also accept money orders. The package includes one pair of brackets plus grade 8 fasteners to attach the brackets to the axle tube flange and the metric bolts to attach the caliper cages to the brackets. This setup is for the 5 x 5 bolt pattern.

If you would like a set, post in this thread and either make a PayPal payment to captainfab454@ hotmail dot com, or send me your email and I can send you a PayPal invoice. If you wish to send a MO contact me for a snail mail address.

I would like a pair of these. Could you send me a paypal invoice? Thanks Cantrell_david@sbcglobal.net

[Captainfab]

PayPal invoice sent and payment received. Thank you for the purchase

Ok so what are you guys using for rims? Having a tough time finding any that will fit this setup

[Captainfab]

What wheels are you trying to fit? As far as I knew any 15" or larger disc brake compatible wheel should work.

Ridler or similar the hub register is to big I guess you have to use a adapter

[Captainfab]

I have heard/read that some of the modern aftermarket wheels have the smaller car sized hub bore. I don't understand why they would offer a wheel with a 5 x 5 pattern and the small hub bore.

All of my products are always available. The quantities are not limited to a one time run. I replied to your PM.

[dwcardfan]

I sent order through PayPal. Thanks

[dwcardfan]

Got my brackets! Is this the correct way to mount them?

[Captainfab]

Yes that is correct.

[dwcardfan]

Thanks for the brackets! Worked great. I used longer wheel studs because I didn't have enough thread with the stock. I used Dorman 610-358 they fit a 97 ford aerostar. I had to drill the rotor wheel stud holes out to a 17/32.

[Captainfab]

Thanks for the pic and the info on the wheel studs. Are those SAE or Metric? I didn't think about looking at Fords for wheel studs.

[dwcardfan]

They are SAE 1/2 inch by 20 threads same as factory. My original wheel studs had a knrul diameter of .615 these are .612 but they were a press fit.
