LS Rear Brake Adapter Plates for F-Body Engine Swaps
If you are fitting an LS powerplant into an F Body chassis the F-Body Rear Brake Adapter Plates solve the issue of misaligned rear calipers by restoring factory mounting points on GM 10 and 12 bolt axles to allow direct fit of F Body brake assemblies without modifications. Each bracket is precision stamped and machined from high grade sheet steel to maintain exact rotor to pad clearance under both street and track conditions. A robust corrosion resistant finish shields mounting surfaces from moisture and road debris preventing bracket warping or rust that can compromise braking accuracy over time. Installation requires only basic hand tools along with the included hardware kit for a complete setup in a single weekend enabling consistent caliper engagement and repeatable braking feel from the first test drive.
Precision Stamped Steel for Consistent Caliper Alignment
Starting with precision stamped sheet steel, each adapter plate is machined to maintain exact factory geometry on GM 10 and 12 bolt axles. This ensures rotor to pad clearance remains within tight tolerances under both street and track use. By preserving original mounting points for F Body brake assemblies, uneven pad wear is prevented and brake engagement feels identical to a factory setup. The inherent rigidity of the sheet steel resists flex under high clamp loads and supports consistent braking pressure across the entire pad surface. This precise fit replicates factory engagement characteristics, delivering predictable performance from the first installation.
Robust Corrosion Resistant Finish for Enduring Reliability
A durable corrosion resistant finish shields all mounting surfaces from moisture, road grime and salt exposure. This protective barrier prevents pitting and rust that can deform brackets and compromise brake accuracy over time. By keeping the interface between axle housing and caliper bracket true, long lasting reliability is maintained through wet seasons and winter drives. The finish also reduces the need for frequent cleaning or reapplication, ensuring integrity of brake alignment for miles on end. Enthusiasts can rely on consistent stopping performance without concerns about environmental wear.
Seamless Bolt On Setup with Inclusive Hardware Kit
These adapter plates are designed for a true bolt on installation that requires only common hand tools and no welding or axle modification. Machined holes match GM 10 and 12 bolt patterns, and the inclusive hardware kit provides every fastener needed for a complete swap. A step by step guide walks users through removal of original brackets, correct torque specifications and final alignment checks, allowing many installs to be finished in a single weekend. This streamlined process eliminates guesswork, cuts shop fees and keeps project timelines on schedule. Installers gain confidence that all components fit precisely as intended.
Elevated Braking Control with Upgraded F Body Calipers
By integrating recent F Body calipers and advanced pad compounds, these adapter plates deliver a marked improvement in stopping torque and pedal feel. The design guarantees uniform pad contact and consistent rotor engagement, translating into shorter stopping distances and more precise modulation under heavy braking. Drivers experience a firmer pedal response and greater confidence during spirited driving or track sessions. Routine maintenance is simplified and service intervals are extended thanks to the reliable alignment of the new brake assemblies. Overall braking authority is lifted to modern standards without altering the axle housing.
Engineered for a precise fit and consistent braking performance throughout your LS swap project.
