Default How many would be interested in the adapters for C4 to C5 brake conversion?

I am looking to have these manufactured much much cheaper than they are being sold for.. I am looking for responses from people serious about upgrading who would like at least half the cost of the current conversion plates.. I have mine done and know there are others interested in the conversion.. Throw me a line.. this kit would be for 88-96 only.. the earlier models need a different bracket which I don't have the specs for..

Me too...
I have seen the early C4 to C5 brake conversion adapters (84-87) and they are simple, just need the right dimensions for them, Heck I have a machine shop I could manufacture the damn thing, but am too lazy to research it.

The later (88-96) brake adapters are a bit harder as they have a special form like an 'S' but shoudl still be easy to machine..

There sure is some interest!

Say, how deep are you into this project? Rather than reinvent the
wheel (with all the attendent headaches that can entail), what about
banding together and looking into another Group Purchase with one
of the existing adapter vendors?
