I'll have to take a look tomorrow to see how many I have at the shop. If I don't have enough, I can just order some more parts laser cut. Are you wanting bare steel or powder coated?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I am confused. I went to the boneyard today to source/price all the parts to use with these brackets. I did not find any 94-97 Camaros with rear disc brakes....all of them were drum?? Were rear discs an option on these years? I did run across a 99 Camaro that had rear disc brakes, but did not pull the trigger because of the years you specified here.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Rear disc brakes were not standard equipment on the '93-'97 F-bodies. I believe they were typically found on the Z28's. The '99 Camaro has a different caliper and rotor than the '93-'97's.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

The 93-97 Camaro used very small single piston front calipers. I wouldn't use it. The fluid volume is probably too little to work properly with a larger D52 front caliper in a 4-wheel disc application. Look at the 98-2002 Camaro master cylinder instead. They used dual piston calipers up front with much more piston area so the fluid volume would be more appropriate.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

The 93-97 was Z/28, Trans Am & Formula specific with it as an option on V-6 cars.

The 98-up stuff was on all the cars V-6 or V-8. Same for the front brakes. The rear on them uses an internal drum brake inside the brake rotor for the parking brake so the calipers are different with no provision for a mechanical parking brake in them. The rotor thickness is different too so they would need spacers to work on the thinner rotors the kit is designed around.

Good info 68 TT

Thanks for posting :)

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Received my brackets for the 93-97 Camaro brakes and they look great! Question about proportioning valve. I am replacing my M/C and Proportioning valve due to prior leakage. I bought a new M/C for 78 corvette and wonder if I should buy the proportioning valve for the same, go with stock proportioning valve or I did find one on ebay that says it will work for 67-87 trucks disk disk although they refused to answer my question when I asked if it would work for this application. If anyone else has done this swap with sucess input would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

You can try the Vette prop valve, but you may or may not be happy with the brake bias. Anymore I recommend the Wilwood #260-11179. It already has an adjustable valve in the rear circuit, so you can adjust the rear brakes to how you like them.

I need a set and P.M. sent

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I installed the kit from Captainfab, and it works great. I resolved two issues with the installation, Combination Valve and Parking Brake Cables
1. Combination valve - I used the factory 68 brake light switch, no proportioning valve and no metering valve. No metering valve needed with 4 wheel disc, and so far works great with no proportioning valve. I installed a master cylinder for 4 wheel disc so as not to have a residual check valve in the outlet of the master cylinder, which is only used on drum brakes. My truck started out as a 4 wheel drum and I had previously installed 72 disc brakes.
2. Parking Brake - My truck is a short bed, however the long and short bed trucks use the same rear cables, so my method should work for all trucks. I was able to use the Camaro factory rear parking brake cables and the factory Chevy intermediate cable. I moved the intermediate cable from the trailing arms to the inside of the frame, connecting to the Camaro cables. I fabricated new brackets for the front of the rear cables and made links to take the slack out of the intermediate cable. The photos show how I did it.

Thank you Charles for posting this info along with those well detailed pics. :D

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Iv'e read all 9 pgs. Of this post,and it looks like you don't make a set of these for a 14 bolt rearend 77 c-10. Please advise thanks

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

That is correct. I do not make any rear disc brackets for either of the 14 bolts. That 14 bolt is not original to your '77 C10. A '77 C20 would have a 10.5" FF 14 bolt, but a '77 C10 would have a 12 bolt.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

thanks did not know that I think i'll be looking for a 12 bolt rearend first thankyou

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Captainfab, I'll take a set. I will send you a PM is a minute. Thanks Mike

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Yes I always have these available, no limited runs here.

Would you like them in bare steel or satin black powder coat?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Hello captainfab I would like a pair of your Camaro caliper rear brake brackets (non painted) my name is mark ryser paypal payment on its way thanks

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Hello Mark

I did receive your payment, and your brackets shipped out today. With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, I'm not sure if you will receive them Saturday or Monday. Thanks for the purchase :)

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Why is a new master cylinder needed? I understand the proportioning valve.

Thanks!

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Thank you!! This will save me some headache. I have a 4-link and didn't have any means of hooking up to the old trailing arm mount.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Attachment 1184333Thanks captainfab for the brackets it made my drum to disk brake fab a breeze! Here are some installed pics thanks again.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

You don't mess around......looks good Mark.

I see you converted your square to trailing arms :thumbs:

Are those NASCAR arms?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

these use the 00 camaro/firebird calipers right?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

No they do not

'93-'97 F-body calipers as listed in the first post.......

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Yes I converted my sq. to trailing arm (nascar). Can you look at these pics. of my x member. All is square, lined up, and pinion is good but I want to be sure before I weld up my spring perches. How much clearance must I have for my driveline through my x member opening. First pic is of the x member half done I could take another shot of it completed but I need to weld up those perches first so nothing moves" AAAGGAAIIIINNN" THIS DID ALMOST KICK MY ASS!! The other is the driveline, your help would be much appreciated.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

I hope I didn't create any problems asking you this question here

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Not a problem.

For clearance, I would like to see at least 1/2" between the driveshaft and the crossmember at the extremes of the suspension. By that I mean 1/2" at the top at full compression and 1/2" at the bottom at full extension. Your side clearance looks good from what I can see.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 

Great I'm good then! Off to find some posts on setting up my pan hard bar,i love this site! Thanks again for the super parts and the info.
