ACR CCB's on non ACR Gen V

[1of1TA1.0]

As the title says ACR CCB's on a non ACR Gen V, I have thought the Gen V's should have had this as an option from the 2013 launch. I was highly disappointed when I went to the reveal in 2012 to see the Gen V released that this was not an option. I don't know why it has always been such a big thing for me, but I just thought if the ZR1 could have them, why couldn't we.

Fast forward to 2017 MY, still no availability of this option. Luckily, the ACR has the option, so we are getting closer. After purchasing the main parts from a fellow forum member I have embarked on the mission to see what really does and does not work. I can tell you that the part number cast onto the knuckles on the rear appeared to be the same, however, when I tried to bolt them up it is clearly different. The extra rotor diameter prevents them from bolting on.

The front knuckles appear to be different part numbers but also seem to work just fine! I have done a test fit and everything fit, then made sure rotation was correct. I also measured the difference of the rotor as it relates to the caliper. It appears almost perfectly centered on the rotor.

I still have to buy the brake pad retainers and bolts for the calipers, as well as rear knuckles, but I am much closer to having what I want. I have knuckles on the way from JonB but we are not certain that they are ACR specific. They are due in this week so I will be able to experiment with them next weekend. I will be using stainless steel lines on the conversion and I plan NOT to try to hook up the brake sensor wires. Luckily the non ACR's don't have the wiring anyway, so as some have had false readings from the sensor, I shouldn't have to deal with it.

I'll update this thread as it progresses. Now off to bolt up my new Tractive Suspension from VE

Here is the front during mock up:
