rear_disc_brake_conversion

this conversion uses: STEELTECH SOLUTIONS caliper brackets, (purchased on EBAY) 3rd generation camaro rotors - AIMCO part# 5551 or BENDIX part# 314287, 80-85 caddy seville calipers - WAGNER (loaded) part# left L107094 & part# right L107095.
i recommend loaded calipers because they come with semi-metalic pads, new mounting bolts, bushings etc, making them ready to install.
i also recommend to go to a salvage yard and getting a pair of the calipers to use as cores for 2 reasons: to beat the hefty $35.00 core charge per caliper, & you also will get the e-brake levers, brackets, and springs, which i understand are still available new from GM, but at a price of over $100.00.

although it doesn't show in the pictures, i lengthened the e-brake cable brackets by 1-1/2", & used longer return springs to give more clearance by the coil springs. (the springs i found had the same wire diameter, & about the same # of coils per inch. i cut them 1-1/2" longer than original). i'm using unmodified vega e-brake cables.

this shows the driver's side STEELTECH SOLUTIONS caliper bracket. the brackets bolt on in place of the drum brake backing plates. i also had to turn down the axle flange diameter to 5.850" so they would fit into the camaro rotors.

this shows the passenger side flex hose to tubing junction bracket i made from a portion of a vega front brake hose bracket welded to a section of 3" pipe, powder coated & held on with a stainless band clamp. the flex hoses are NOS monza front ones i had sitting around. the length is perfect for this mounting location. i also had to bend up new left and right brake lines, although that is not shown.

this shows the 3rd generation camaro 4 wheel disc brake master cylinder i used, along with the WILWOOD part# 260-2220 adjustable proportioning valve plumbed into the rear brake line.
