Good price! Can you confirm they include the E-brake brackets and dampener? Photos looks like they do, but you never know about their photo accuracy.

I decided to order these calipers from Callahan, they do include the bracket and 'dampener.' Will be awhile before I install, but they look good. The dampener is quite large... bigger than it looks in the photo...

NOOB Question: What is that "Dampener" for?

This is my first Chevy and I'm still learning.....A LOT.

All I know is that it's called a "vibration dampener."

Hey, I’m interested in a set of these, though I’ve currently got a 69 12 bolt with 6lug drums. I’m going to swap out the axles with 5 Luger mosers, would these work with that set up? Then just to find calipers and discs if they do.

Thanks
Alex

Yep. Make sure you check all the bearings and seals. I just did the same thing on my 67 GMC. I bought Moser axles from summit. The caliper and rotor combo all depends on whether you are doing an e-brake or not. I bought a new brake booster/ master/ prop setup when I converted. Mine works awesome.

Awesome thank you! Appreciate the information.

Captain, I’ll take a set if you have one.

These Camaro caliper brackets use a caliper that has a built in e-brake. There is no other option with these brackets.

For all you folks that have installed this kit, did you try it with and without the dampener? Wondering if it's critical to the braking performance?

Thx,
Roy

I did not try it without dampeners. My calipers came with them installed.

Thanks, just curious. No Chevy brake engineers from the 1990s on the forum... haha. Getting ready to do my conversion. Appreciate those that have done the swap showing how they did the E-brake cabling. That was one of my worries.
