anyone lookin for rear disc brakes

[raggedjim]

Hilljob26, here's a list of what I did. A friend used a CNC to cut my brackets out using an AutoCad drawing I drew. Hope this helps, Rg

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

Proportionong 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 proportioning 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.

I'd be very interested if you ever figure out the ebrake setup. I have a 5 lug as well.

[hilljob26]

these are all being cut on a plasma,but just takes time,i just had knee surgery yesterday,so i wont be doing a whole lot for a couple of weeks

[Inspector722]

I would be interested in a 6 lug unit.

[PLavelle]

I would be interested in a 6 lug setup.

[hilljob26]

ok guys,i am going to take care of all the 6 lug first,then i will deal w/ the five lug,the sixes are just easier to get done,seems how i know what i need to complete them

[hilljob26]

here is what they will look like for a 6 lug

[BLAZERMAN]

What rotor is used for the 6 bolt?

[hilljob26]

it uses a rotor off of a 1988 4x4(front) and i have found 2 types of calipers,one w/ e brake,and one w/ out,after i heal up a little,i will see how it turns out

[lolife99]

hilljob26,... where is the "bleeder" positioned on that caliper? Looks like it might be hard to bleed with the caliper directly on top. Or is that positioned just for the sake of the photo?

[GlennBrittain]

I am interested in the 5 bolt, would like to see some pictures also.

[BAD4X4]

I'm also intrested in a set too.......Thanx Dana

[hilljob26]

bleeder is kinda to the bottom on the side

[lolife99]

Doesn't the bleeder need to be on TOP?

[hilljob26]

it depends on the caliper being used,they are all different,as soon as i get some done,you will get a better idea

[joelboxt]

how much do you want just for the brackets? nothing else?

[hilljob26]

i will sell the brackets for 125 shipped

[cornutz]

I would be interested in a 5 on 5 complete set-up, too!

[smokekiki]

The bleeder needs to be up when bleeding.You rotate the caliper to bleed,then put it back in place after it is bled.

[joelboxt]

how much for a hole kit? with rotors and calipers? what else would come with it? and the ebrake deal how will that work? also if i just wanted the brakets what do i get the calipers from and the rotors from?

please let me know

joel

[hilljob26]

i will fill all of you in on the details when i finish some up,the whole kit will sell for 300 + shipping for the 6 lug w/ out ebrake,the brackets are 125,but like i said,as soon as i heal up from my knee surgery,i will be able to give you guys some more info.thanx...mike

[hilljob26]

also,if you guys would like to make your own,i can send you some copys that i had made on autocad,this will give you a template of the pieces needed to cut and also a full drawing of how they are assembled,i will also include what rotors and calipers you can use,these will sell for 55 shipped,that way you get self sastisfaction,and they work really well,pretty much give ya everything you need

[tripp]

hook me up with the drawing and I'll make my own brackets, thanks.

[sweet n rare67]

I am also very interested in the drawings. Hope you are feeling better after your knee surgery.

Thanks,
Jake

[hilljob26]
