Re: What did you do to your boss today?
Installed the GT500 13.8" rear brakes. I used the Baer bracket 670-0183, (which is really an adapter bracket to push out the caliper about an inch) so I did not have to remove the caipers, or axles to do the install. No bleeding of the brakes or diff oil needed. The bracket cost was $85 each plus shipping from Baer in Arizona. Oh, you will need to get 4 bolts, M12 X 55mm long (I used 60mm, as that was all I could find).
Here is a picture with the Baer bracket installed. (of course it is the black one)
Before picture of the 11.8" rear brakes.
After picture of the 13.8" GT500 brakes.
After picture with Boss 19" wheel.
After picture with my GT500 20" wheel.
These brackets are the ones that come in the 14" Baer rear brake kit 226-2019. The GT500 Rotors are slightly smaller at 13.8", and therefore the brake pads are located right at the outer edge of the rotor. I hope this is not going to be an issue.
Here is a picture of the pad to rotor. (Pad extends about a 1/16th past the rotor)
I am going to try and get the 15" GT500 front brakes installed in the next couple weeks. They will involve bleeding the brakes.
