Re: Nickey Z28s
I posted these in another thread, I believe the photos show one of these first 67 Z28's delivered to Yenko, being prepped for road racing. I have some other pics of these Yenko early 67 Z's, I'll see if i can dig some more out if anyone's interested in seeing them.

Re: Nickey Z28s
Absolutely! Bring it on.
The 302 was a very popular engine over at Nickey. They were even known to have performed some 302 conversions back in the day.

Re: Nickey Z28s
OK then... here goes. If anyone can positively identify the location from the background, please let me know.
This is Don and his dad Frank, checking out one of the very first 67 Z/28's to roll off the assembly line.

[/ QUOTE ] Joe, Do you have any other photos of the front brake calipers from this Bud Gates Z-28? These are ultra rare pieces that used the dual cotter pin J56 brake pads on the 11" rotor. This was a year before the 11.75" 4-wheel disc stuff came out. I've never seen a good shot of these calipers showing the dual cotter pins and how these calipers were remachined. All shots seem to be taken from the front whereas from the side or back would show them off better. Supposedly the factory issued a blueprint on how to do the remachining but I have never seen that either. The factory issued these calipers as p/n 5468886 & 5468887 but the casting numbers are probably still 5455533 & 5455530. Anybody ever seen a set in person? -Jon

Re: Nickey Z28s
------Jon,,,Im just guessing but wouldnt the calipers you are referring to be the same as 66/67 J56 Corvette front calipers. If so I can probably get someone to E-mail you a pic.........Bill S

Re: Nickey Z28s
Bill,
I don't think so. The picture I saw in a magazine article looked to be a Camaro casting or at least something other than Corvette. -Jon
