V1 Parts numbers for bits in DF goblin parking brake kit

[LaunchPad]

The Goblin was relocated from Oldb1's shop to mine this week, I unpacked the Parking brake kit last night hoping to get it QUICKLY* installed and turns out I was missing a few components. It's been well over a year since I ordered and received the DF Goblin parking brake kit since the project stalled out previously, so even though the box was still sealed, this is on me for not having gotten installed or at least inventoried immediately.

But also, it occurred to me I may actually need to know things like brake pads and rotor part numbers at a minimum should there be need of future maintenance.

Since I only have one what I need most immediately is another "anti-rattle clip" as seen here:

if anyone has numbers/source other than going thru Goblin HQ for pads and rotors that would be fabulous! Thank you in advance

footnote: * not one thing about this project has gone quickly, cheap, or good. I thought the saying was I could have 2 of the 3?

I ordered my rear brake calipers, rotors, brake pads and park brake cables from rockauto. I can get those numbers if you want them. You will need the DF brake hoses and hub centric rings for the rotors. It appears you are using 5 lug?

I would LOVE and parts numbers if you have them! beer on me, should we ever meet.

Yes, this car is a five lug. but that was Adams picture from the well-hidden DF parking brake photo album. . .not sure I can post a link. . .hmm.

Is the rumor that these are solstice brakes, correct? I happen to have both a N/A Sky and GXP Solstice but haven't crawled under one to remove a wheel and verify. the discs i got in the DF kit had new mount holes drilled. I wasn't too thrilled about their appearance. if so then major GRRR, nothing like discontinued parts for cars long out of production.

It would just be nice to get this project Dee Ohh IN Eeee done.

a bit of eyeball searing reading today i did find this:

DF provides you front calipers that are from the front of a 2007-2010 Cobalt base model. If you don't option the Parking Brake Kit, you will use your donor's front calipers on the rear of the Goblin. If you buy the Parking Brake Kit, DF provides you rear calipers (and rotors/pads) that come from the rear of a 2006-2009 Solstice/Sky.

GOBLIN W/ PARKING BRAKE - CALIPER PART NUMBERS:
18-B5050 is the rear drivers side brake caliper, from a 2006-09 Pontiac Solstice (brake pads: 15271565)
18-B5051 is the rear passenger side brake caliper, from a 2006-09 Pontiac Solstice (brake pads: 15271565)
18-B4880A is the front driver side brake caliper, from a 2007-10 Chevy Cobalt (base 2.2 liter engine)
18-B4881A is the front passenger side brake caliper, from a 2007-10 Chevy Cobalt (base 2.2 liter engine)

I want to say my DF provided rear calipers were Duralast remans, which I replaced with BrakeBest remans from Orielly Auto. I've been problem free since swapping them on. I also received incorrect brake pads from DF for my fronts, and ended up buying Power Stop Z23-956 pads for the front.

and if that is correct then this should work for my purposes. . .

They didn’t have this kit available when I got my parts but if they did I would’ve bought it

that is a much nicer looking kit. Here is what i got from goblin as far as my discs:

Nothing wrong using the redrilled rotors. I use the 5x110 pattern. If you don’t have the hub rings which are in the store, you’ll need them. I also ordered the rear brake hoses from DF. Pretty much everything brake wise is for the solstice on the rear. If you want to use the park brake you will need park brake cables for the cobalt ss with rear disc
