loweredd, here's a brief rundown. I don't have all the misc. parts gathered yet (flexible hoses, line connectors, etc.) but i have the rotors, calipers, pads, brackets, master cylinder and the proportioning valve is on order.

Rotors, 1978 Cadilliac Seville, NAPA #UBP 85776, $24.99 ea, 11 5/32" Dia, 1" thick, 5x5 bolt pattern. Will require machining the axle flange to allow rotor to slide over axle. (piece of cake...)

Calipers, 1986 Camaro front calipers (no e-brake), NAPA #SDC 2422032 & 2422033, $13.99 ea

Pads, 1986 Camaro front pads, NAPA #BRP BR7070AM, $16.49 does both sides

Master cylinder, 1968-1972 Corvette, approx. $30.00

Proportioning valve, Classic Performance Products, $59.00

Brackets, designed by me and graciously CNC'ed by a machinist
friend $0.00

Total so far is less than $185.00 including the Master cyl and pro valve.

All the rest of the parts will raise the total. Hopefully I can stay less than $250.00 in the end.

I think it would probably be alot less trouble to buy a kit IF you couldn't find a friend to do the machine work, or someone to supply an AutoCad drawing, or you don't enjoy making things work (some people don't...) For me it's more of a personal challenge and will give me some braggin rights IF it all works!

The kits usually don't include a master cylinder or proportioning valve, so the kits can be expensive. I don't think I would do this to a vehicle I drive everyday either. Safety is always a concern and I am designing an alternate e-brake system (still in it's infancy...)

I am also buying cheaper parts, but they all have a lifetime warranty.

Hope this helps, Rg
