Bryan, on Ebay sometimes they not not ship to Canada, so  you can buy and ship to Niagara Falls NY. there's a place called CBI you pay like $5 bucks for storage and using US address, per each shipment up to 25LBS  over 25lbs that is bit more.it's 2 min over the Rainbow bridge.

 I spend good amount of time on Ebay to collect all I need. NO duty paid only sale tax in Ontario  since the free trade.

No blame for any body, the rear suspension will use the s-10 hubs with the custom spindle from the plans. As for Carlisle next year I will be there 100% not sure if the car will be there but I will be well on my way. I'm still on the fence about what body to run, im leaning towards a Reventon now, most likely going got get it from the guy in Michigan

Bryan, don't blame Robert about the ABS.  It was a valid point.  Glad that you found the corvette parts that you needed.  What components are needed for the rear wheel setup?  Can the C5 parts be used there also?  When are you coming down to Carlisle?  gotcha on that one, huh?

This guy put c5 spindles in a blazer which would originally have the same spindles as the s10. According to him they interchange.

Sorry I missed it. C5 spindles are only $160 a set on eBay. Sometimes cheaper.

Abott Electronic Ratio Adapter. This may be worth looking into.

I have new s-10 bearings that I can measure for you. I also have new c6 bearings if that helps any.

no abs with this car.  what i am looking for is the difference between the s-10 front spindles and the c-5 spinldes, the c-5 spindles are about 3 times the price of the s-10 spindles, i have seen people post up about using the s-10 spindles on the front of their naerc chassis, i am curious if it was because of cost , and what would need to be modified to make them work. i wont be using the c-5 brakes I will be using the porsches cayanne  front and rear calipers on the vette rotors.

thanks for your time

ABS brakes??  How can you modify the abs controller when you substitute different sized circumference tires front to rear?

starting  to build my naerc chassis for mucrielago, and i have a few questions about the possibility of using a steering column other than the one that it suggests, (i masking because the steering colum is hard to find in my area)and that being said what have you guys used if its other than the one stated in the diagrams.

also i have heard that chev s-10 front hubs can be used instead of the c5 front hubs, if somebody can explain the simularities and the differences (im sure they will be minor ) that would be great

thanks in advance


If your planning ABS brakes, plan for them now.
