If memory serves correctly, PBR (vic) made them for C5, essentially same as the HSV, and were for 32mm thick rotors - if correct, this might help if you find some locally (and save you time linishing "Corvette" off the casting)

They did make them for HSV but also Toyota along with Ford. The rotor sizes varied but were all 32mm thick as you mentioned but they all had a different mounting cradle to suit the different offsets and rotor diameters. They no longer make this caliper and are very hard to find unfortunately.

Found a set of PBR blues

The calipers used were similar but not the Ford version. We used a different version caliper and although the body and pad is the same the actual cradle that mounts to the car was different . The offset and mounting points will be different so will not work.

Spotted on car sales

2 x different BA's for sale at the same time with the 355mm kits

Would be great to see these for sale again

The PBR caliper production stopped many years ago but have literally had whispers yesterday we may have access to a new product very similar so the kits may be resurrected again .

As i have the territory with 340mm, any idea on bracket so as to use 355mm rotors?

Not a bracket we have done nor do i think it is possible. We would have to raise the caliper up 7.5mm and there would be no room for this to happen.
It may be possible to reposition the caliper to get the clearance but that is not a guarantee.

Ok scratch that, are the brembo brackets still avaiable somewhere?
Would these suit 4 pot or are they 6 pot caliper only?

I haven't come across anyone doing 4 piston front brackets but we did have heaps of genuine steel 6 pot brackets throughout the years.
I have maybe 1 or 2 pair left if i look hard for them but will only be sold in a kit now with calipers etc. We will not be making them unless we have a bulk order sorry.
