993 brake conversion parts source??
I'm adding 993 brakes to my 81 SC w/3.6. For those who have done it I need a good source for the front adapters / hats and rotors. I Dinftown, but no return e-mail, I tried VCI but they want $900. Any suggestions??
Jeff

I got my hats for my 930 brake conversion from Powertech in NJ. Very reasonable.

jeff, i sourced a set of used calipers from the classified section. on the rear i used 930 rear rotors to retain the parking brake. i made the front caliper adapters out of a 1x1 6061 bar stock i had laying around. the front adaper plates/hats for my wilwood rotors were made from 1/4 plate on a milling machine. the rear calipers were welded up and re machined to the correct bolt spacing. i did everything for around $1250 which included front and rear calipers,new front wilwood rotors,new zimmerman drilled rear 930 rotors and machine labor to make my plates.

Pelicanite NorthCoastCab has a kit that he has put together to do just what you're asking.
He has 993 f/r calipers and adapters, front hats and front rotors all available immediately. The only thing you have to provide is rear rotors and labor to put it all together. Do a search for him and I think you'll find it attractively priced. No affiliations.

Doug Arnao (VCI) is expensive, but he makes good stuff. I see you already tried him, but in case you want to reference his site, it's VCI.

Wilwood
No, it's not my company. I put those brass shift bushing in and they're killer though. John

Do you know which Wilwood discs? Aren't there different grades and quality?
Sounds like a good deal, though. Thanks, Doug

Wow, great price at Trackday! I think he is a Pelican, I recognise the car on the website, maybe not though?
Cheers
