Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

I'm stuck in the middle of an LS1 brake swap. One of the Caliper brackets had a frozen caliper bolt that busted off. I need one of these brackets or a junk yard to pull one from. Any info let me know. If I cant get this part Tuesday afternoon, its very UNLIKELY I won't make the Meet and Greet this year
Idk if you want to do this or not, but maybe try autozone? I've gotten rebuilt calipers there before for really cheap. Like $20, but it wasn't for an F-body. And yeah, I've gotten that reaction when I ask local junkyards if they have any f-bodies in as well, lol.

The only place you can get them new is from the dealer. I ended up dishing out $100 to have it Wednesday. I didn't think that was a bad price for what I was expecting.
Hopefully!!!!! Fingers crossed!!!!!! I will have the swap complete Wednesday night, and the alignment shop can squeeze me in Thursday, or Friday morning.
i just had the same problem this last weekend. had 3 of the 4 slides seized inside that bracket. i even busted the end off one trying to get it out. we welded a nut on the slide, heated with a torch and got it out. i was almost in the exact same boat as you. glad you got one and will be joining us.

I tried everything to get the seized bolt out. What really stinks is that I spend approx 3 hours on that bracket sanding down the casting. Then a few more hours painting it.
My goal is to have the swap done Wednesday evening. Hopefully drop the car off at the alignment shop early Friday morning for new ball joints and an alignment.
