I just ordered the impala calipers that the guy above mentioned $68.05 including discount and shipping. Captnfab can you pm me the prices on a set of brackets. Also what brake lines are recommended for this. Just stock rear lines ?

**Captainfab** · 09-11-2014, 11:54 PM

The price is the same as in post #1. I will send you a PM.

The Impala SS hoses will work as well as '79 Chevette hoses.

Just curious -- how do you guys get around state inspection with no parking brake? These brackets seem like a great solution but I don't think I'd pass if my parking brakes didn't work.

**Captainfab** · 09-13-2014, 12:53 AM

Not all states have vehicle inspections, such as here in Idaho. If you need an e-brake/parking brake, you can use my Camaro caliper brackets or the D52 brackets with the Eldorado calipers.

Too bad you couldn't do a bracket that uses the impala SS calipers and maybe has a small wilwood mechanical caliper mounted below it. I went with the SS calipers as if they can stop a heavy car they can stop a heavy truck , but my old timer mechanic ( he's 75 and been doing it since 1955) was calling me a dumbass for not running an ebrake setup on my truck for safety reasons. Florida is a no inspection state.

**Captainfab** · 09-14-2014, 01:38 AM

That has already been considered, just not enough time to get it done.

CAD skills and a CNC cutter?

Cap'n, sounds like you need an intern!
