Rear 5 lug rotors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*FormerMember* · 09-20-2005, 02:36 PM

Ok, so I have my calipers, which should work really well. I can fab the brackets.

What rotors do you guys suggest for my rear disk converstion?

I thought about a 95 Caprice. SHould be a ten bolt rear and 5 on 5" lug pattern.

I briefly thought about switching to a 5 on 4.75" bolt pattern to run Vette stuff...

powell72 · 09-20-2005, 07:44 PM

I've heard about using a '77 Lincoln Continental rear rotor. They are a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Anybody else?

Bob Moore · 09-20-2005, 08:11 PM

The 77? - 78 - 79 Cadd SeVille (rear wheel drive) had 5 on 5" rotors. I believe the FWD SeVilles went to 4&3/4" .

masterbeavis · 09-21-2005, 08:59 PM

thought big fords were 5 on 4-7/8?

fastwillie 696969 · 09-21-2005, 09:09 PM

i wont use the linc rotors they have attend to get real hot and warp easy maybe a mustang rear rotors

396 SS · 09-22-2005, 01:44 AM

The Caprice will fit . The Seville rotors cost less but require minor machining of the center hole to fit the truck axle. I am going to use the Seville rotor and a GM metric caliper on mine.

383 Stroker · 09-22-2005, 10:00 AM

I have the Caprice/Impala rotors. They work good.

*FormerMember* · 09-26-2005, 02:23 PM

So, what brackets for a GM metric caliper?

I want to use a rear caliper from a 95 Buick Regal sport. got them cheap from ebay!

chevyguy_72 · 09-26-2005, 02:34 PM

where do you get the conversion kit works with these?

*FormerMember* · 09-26-2005, 02:42 PM

Well, that's what I am building, but I don't want to spend the $400+

So I bought the calipers with ebrake from ebay for 40.00 for a pair, shipped with pads.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

they're 4" from bolt hole to bolt hole.

I also have a set of the old El Dorado rear calipers, which are 5.5" bolt hole to bolt hole.

Going to a boneyard for the rest of the ebrake linkage.

Rotors are 39.00 each from Vato Zone. 1995 Caprice with rear disk.

Need a caliper bracket, thinking about a Lou Feger weld on caliper bracket:

http://www.loufegersracing.com/weldon.html

They (Vato Zone) aslo have the Crapice caliper bracket???

http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...%7ENONE%7C%7EW

Just wondering if there's a bolt on bracket that's available??? Anyone know if the stock Vato Zone Dorman bracket works?

724wdcopper · 09-26-2005, 03:05 PM

check with speedway motors. they have disc brake kits and parts, mainly for the streetrod guys, but i'm sure your money is just as green

i think it's speedwaymotors.com

PanelDeland · 09-26-2005, 03:08 PM

There is a front disc bolt on bracket but I can't find my link.I never looked to see if they do a rear.Maybe a search would turn one up.

Inthuwind · 09-26-2005, 06:18 PM

Would this Caprice/Impala conversion work on a '72 12 bolt rear axle??

*FormerMember* · 09-26-2005, 06:22 PM

No idea... I am doing research ATM.

I bet that it would.

Inthuwind · 10-04-2005, 05:21 PM

Ttt

383 Stroker · 10-05-2005, 05:34 PM

Inthuwind, here are the pictures of the backing plate you wanted.

*FormerMember* · 10-05-2005, 05:39 PM

What caliper is that?

I am grabbing a complete caprice rear end for the disks.

Should be a bolt on fit.

Impala SS/Caprice 9C1 caliper.

*72CSTC5* · 10-05-2005, 08:43 PM

Okay, 383Stroker, let me get this right. Your complete rear end disc brake setup is off of 95 caprice?

Inthuwind · 10-05-2005, 08:51 PM

It is--he made his own brackets though---

*72CSTC5* · 10-05-2005, 11:06 PM

Hey, inthuwind, thanks, the post was getting kind of confusing. Did he give you the specs on the bracket? I would be interested in the specs or buying a pair from him.

It's the same caliper and rotor that comes on a mid 90's Impala SS. I ordered the parts new from GM.

*FormerMember* · 10-06-2005, 07:52 AM

Looks like a stock bracket (with 2 bolts) bolted to a fabbed bracket that bolts to the axle flange?

Ebrake?

Ebrake?

I made the backing plate that the caliper bracket bolts to. Here is another picture of it. No ebrake with this setup. The ebrake is made into the stock backing plate.

Nice clean setup
