For those waiting on Camaro caliper brackets....

[Hart_Rod]

Can these brackets be installed with the axles in? I want to pull my drums, but I don't have any brackets yet and I don't want to have to pull the axles twice.

No. The old backing plates have to come off. The only way to get them off is to pull the axles (unless you cut them off).

I realize the axles have to come out to pull the old backing plates off. What I'm trying to figure out is, after I pull the backing plates off, If I put the axles back in and button up the differential, can I install Glocks brackets when I get them?

Rob,

Looking at the pics on the 1st page and the page before this one, it looks like they will go on with the axle in. The piece that actually attaches to the flange is "C" shaped and the opening looks to be large enough to fit around the axle. At least that's the way it looks.
Maybe Bob will chime in a say for sure.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Yes, you can install the brackets with the axles in. No problem.

I don't think I was doing a very good job asking, . Thanks, now I'll go ahead and pull them. I just didn't want to do it twice. Thanks! .

Has anyone tried mounting the Camaro or Impala dust shield? I think it would definitely help with the water if it will bolt up.

Frizzle Fry, those look sweet!! Where did you get the rotors? Summit?

That's a good idea. Now where to get some... Scrap yard I guess.

Ya I dig it. They are summit rotors. They make the same style for the front so you can match front/rear.

Not sure if I posted these in this thread but... A couple part numbers I used:

97 Camaro Parking Brake Cables: NAPA 94724

97 Camaro Flex Lines to Calipers: NAPA 380483

Both parts are not side specific.

Mike, thanks for posting those part numbers. I'll update the install instructions/price list.

BTW everyone, these are back!!!!! Check my website link in my profile! Should be ready to ship by the end of the month.

What would it take to be able to use the Camaro caliper up front also? Just so they would match. Is the front Camaro caliper a dual piston? I have ordered my brackets and also bought the new Camaro calipers from Advanced auto for $160.

[babyblueoval]

Hey Bob,

What's the word on availability of the camaro brackets?
I've got my calipers are on the way.

[chevydog66]

Ya,when will we get our brackets? I paid for mine on January 22. I already have my calipers, got em brand new for $160. We still have snow here so I'm in no hurry.

[glock35ipsc]

They all shipped out Tuesday. I have about 11 sets left. PM my with any questions.

[chevydog66]

Kewl, can't wait. Now I need to order my drilled and slotted rotors from Summit.

Where did you get the calipers?

Rock Auto (rockauto.com) is where I got mine.

[chevydog66]

I bought mine from Advanced auto. A friend of mine is an assistant manager there.

Bob, PM sent.

[babyblueoval]

I got mine on eBay for $50 shipped.

When I get 'em we'll see if it's a good deal or not.

Adding to the parts list: Banjo Bolts for the flex lines. Just noticed they didn't come with em...

[Hart_Rod]

OK, I finally got all my parts, (no thanks to NAPA's warehouse, ). I got the brackets installed on the rearend housing but I'm having a problem when I try to bolt the caliper up. There's a 3/8 to 1/2 gap between the mounting surface on the caliper and the mounting surface on the bracket. I thought I might have to shim a little, but not quite that much. Any suggestion? Pictures of problem....

[glock35ipsc]

Did you have the inner hole of the rotor machined to open it up to fit over the "bump" on the axle, allowing it to fully seat on the axle flange? That looks to be about the distance that the "bump" protruded out from the flange face.
