Hey Everyone....
I am looking for some directions for installing my rear disk brake kit from cpp. If anyone knows of a site that shows the steps for assembly...hopefully with photos...i would find it extremely helpful. I have already disassembled the old rear drums and backing plates so no need for those instructions. Thanks for the help!!

HAd a chat with Paul at hydroboost the other day. We eventaully got to rear disc conversions. His opinion was you don't gain much besides that fact it looks alot better id you have wheels with big openings. He recommended that I check the play in the axle. If it was more a 1/4" or so it would affect the performance of the calipers and would need to be reshimmed or what ever needs to be done to tighten up the tolerances. So depending on how much slop is in you may have more to do that just putting the kit on.

I was planning a 4 disk conversion until I read all the pointers on this subject here on this forum. I appreciate all the good advice and will now opt for the fronts only. I am going to replace the rear drum assemblies though.
