Man Machine Interface, Inc. is a Corvette after market parts manufacturer, a 1965-1969 classic big-block Corvette engine, drive line, and chassis restorer, and a Corvette after market parts dealer. We manufacture the patented C6 Aero-Plate front license plate bracket for the C6 Corvette, the Z-GS high performance disc brake rotor for Chevrolet Corvettes, and are a Corvette after market dealer for Al Knoch Corvette interiors, Corsa Performance exhaust systems, Stainless Works exhaust systems, and Worth Equipment commercial and residential lifts. We currently have facilities in both Westlake, Ohio and Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

We manufacture two major products. The first is our Z-GS 1965-2004 high performance brake rotor which is for 1965 through 2004 Corvettes. This rotor is CNC machined with Man Machine Interface's proprietary dimple and reverse slot pattern, and then zinc dichromate plated. As an option, the rotor can be cryogenically treated. The second product is our new patented C6 Aero-Plate front license plate bracket for the C6 Corvette. This is the only C6 front license plate bracket that provides for two license plate mounting positions; plate down, below the grille and across the bottom front fascia and plate up, above the bottom front fascia. The C6 Aero-Plate is CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and comes in black anodized and custom polished finishes. This bracket attaches using existing fasteners on the C6 so no drilling is required.

My wife and I have been Westlake residents since 1970, and we enjoy helping Corvette enthusiasts find top quality products for these magnificent vehicles.

As a manufacturer and supplier of specialty Corvette parts and services, Man Machine Interface, Inc. extends a ten percent discount to all Corvette Club members. Call Man Machine Interface, Inc. today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
