Some have expressed an interest in the C5 rear brakes. This is what I did.
I traced the outline of the backing plate, so if anyone needs a copy let me know. (You pay for the stamp)

This set up does not allow for a parking brake, so if you need one I would use the Camaro/Trans am brakes.

You will need to fab up the hard lines so they will attach to the calliper. I looped my line to take up some slack. I used Aeroquip ends. You will need 2 Aeroquip adapters that will go between the hard line and the flex line and 2 Aeroquip 10mm Banjo X whatever size flex line you are using. #3 or#4??
Sorry I dont have the #3 part #'s (thats what I used). The #4 adapters are
FCM2937 this is the 3/8-24 to inverted flare. It would go between the hard line and flex line.
FCM2948 is the 10mm banjo X #4. It will bolt to the calliper and the other end of the flex line will attach to it.

I know Im missing alot of info, so ask away. I can also take more detailed pictures as these were taken before the job was complete.
