Just finished up the front disk conversion on the Chevelle this weekend everything went great and with the exception of having a few clearance issues went together great.

Except the flex hose bracket.
I ordered a new set from OPGI.
They were supposed to be correct for disk brake cars, they made special note that they had a double thick flange for where the hose goes through.
The exact discription is "These exact reproductions of original 1969-72 hose brackets are perfect for disc brake conversions on 1968-72 vehicles. Originally, brackets were different with drum being single thick steel and disc being double thick steel. Due to differences in hoses, having the correct bracket removes any slack and provides a secure fit. Brackets are sold as a pair and include locating tabs and hardware."

Well that presents a problem. The hose dosnt stick far enough through to actually get the top retaining clip on.
Did I order the right brackets or is there another type I need?

Also is it normal to have a little bit of the pads rubbing on the rotor when you turn them manually? They are still easy to turn by hand but they rub.

As long as you can get the caliper over the rotor and they aren't draging you should be alright.
