Putting baer brakes on the rear end and just want to be sure I have them installed correctly before I tighten them down and install the rear. I can say this for sure, this is the 1st car we have done a frame off on and everything I've done so far as far as suspension and frame work and all, I've done it twice. But it's like I tell a friend of mine, at least on the next car I'll know better, lol and only have to do things once, I hope. Anyways, give me some input guys and thanks to those that respond.

After looking over several other pics and posts, I guess my question is are the brakets and calipers installed correctly. According to their instructions the drivers side bracket should be at 8 oclock and the passenger at 4 oclock. Dosen't look right to me, but I went according to instructions.

Here's a pic of BobB66SS's car from chevellabration, or at least his back tire.

If your instructions said the calipers should be at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock, something's wrong. Your's looks more like 10 and 2. I've never installed a baer rear system before so I dunno. I helped my brother install a cheapie rear disc setup from Summit in his 67 this summer, and you can get it put together wrong, we did.
