These are the brackets I made. I utilized the 5 on 5" lug pattern from my b-body front spindle conversion so I wanted to keep the back the same lug pattern. I bought new Moser Axles w/5-5”x ½”x2” screw in studs, 6.125 flange, Bearings & Seals. the '70 Cadillac Fleetwood rear rotors are the same as '80 Camaro but 5 on 5" instead of 5 on 4-3/4 lug pattern. - Calipers 82-88 Camaro front calipers & AutoZone z-rated Pads.

Sure is pretty, 454! Can you tone the glare down just a bit on that rearend!

Looks great! What size are those rotors? 11"?

Do you have a template for the caliper brackets? What did the calipers cost you? Were the rotors you used cheaper than the Camaro ones? I used 79 TA rear rotors on my CHevelle and don't recall them being too expensive, but am looking to save money when I do the Nova rear disks.


Thanks,
Bill C.

Man, I do enjoy reading (and looking at) your posts! Will this rear axle also be using your newly designed yoke-mounted parking brake? Slick design and I hope you sell a million of 'em. Good Luck! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

bc, they are 11". yes i have the template but there is a guy selling them on ebay for like $80 a pair. i could not use those on this application because i put new axles in with a thicker lug stud flange, the calipers were not positioned over the rotors. so i had to make the brackets you see to offset the caliper properly. if you use stock axles you can use the one piece brackets. but i have both templates, but if you need the one piece you should buy them from that guy, its worth it, $80 is cheep for the amount of work in these.
the calipers were like $12? these rotors new were $60 each. smile.gif
thanks Gregg. graemlins/thumbsup.gif absolutly it is alread mounted on it.
