Re: For those waiting on Camaro caliper brackets....
Re: For those waiting for me to install my Camaro caliper brackets...
Finally got around to it and they're working great! I changed out the proportioning valve to a CPP unit and it feels balanced. I've driven for about 5 days with this setup and so far I'm happy with it. I'll have to re-adjust the parking brake, because it would hold when I first put the truck back on the road, but the cables have settled / stretched to where it doesn't stop the truck from rolling. I had to shim the calipers with 2 washers to center them to the rotors. Also, I removed the heavy weights from the calipers and don't notice any vibration or squeal without them. I'm using a stock disk/drum master cylinder from a 71/72 FWIW. I used all used parts from the 93-97 Camaro: a pair of used calipers, pads, e-brake cable, e-brake cable "brackets", and rubber flex hose. Also, I bolted the (modified) brackets down so I could have a solid connection where the rubber flex hose and hard brake line connect. I may replace the pads here shortly when I get back into it to lock tight the caliper bolts. Curious to hear more feedback from others who have finished this conversion.
