Hi ,I need to find a part# for the brackets as the GM dealer here says the # from the ass. manual is NFG ! They show up as 1236576 and 7.
Are they the same on all disk brake chevelles? Can a drum brake bracket be modified to work in a pinch?
Thanks!

Yes, or you can use '69 camaro drum brake flex lines on your disc setup and not have to modify a thing. You can thank 454 for that tip :D

don't use the 69 Camaro DRUM brake HOSE- use the drum brake frame bracket with the 69 Camaro DISC brake hose. drum brake hoses are TOTALLY different at the end towards the wheel.

Yes the disc brake hose from the 69 camaro does work. I have them on my 68, they are longer and you can use your drum brake brackets. I got them from O'reilley's.

Thank God my TC brothers had their thinking caps on graemlins/clonk.gif and got me straight. I knew there was a way to get around the drum brake bracket :D

Good luck!
