Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with E-Brake Brackets
 
The suspension trailing arms are they something you made?

Also can the discs be had in dimpled/drilled and slotted?

I have 95 Camaro Z28 calipers laying around with backing plate/bracket.

Any one ever tried the 98-2002 Camaro Z28 2 piston caliper in front. The so called LS1 brakes. I imagine since the rotor might be thinner may not be very good for a heavy truck.

I think I'm ready to buy the brake booster plate and the hydro boost adapter.

THE front or rear for the Chevy truck rotors? Or are they the same?

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with E-Brake Brackets
 
You need the front rotors. The rears won't work with these brackets. These brackets come with a parts list with part numbers for the parts you will need. You should have your parts order in the next day or so.

Those look like rear rotors. The 2000 Suburban has an integral parking brake in the rotor hat. Are you sure?

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with E-Brake Brackets
 
Yes you are correct, my mistake. :o I guess I was thinking of the new setup that I'm working on, which uses the front rotor.

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with E-Brake Brackets
 
I am finally at a point where I can use these. Before I buy a set, any idea what ebrake cable to use?

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with E-Brake Brackets
 
I've not done an installation using these Camaro calipers yet, so I don't have a definite answer for you. This question has been asked before and again todat in the 5 lug Camaro caliper bracket thread. So far no one has replied. Someone has to have an idea, since I have sold quite a few sets of these, and glock sold several sets before me. I'm not familar with the factory e-brake cables on the '93-'97 F-body, so I don't know if those can work or not. You might end up having to have a couple cables made by someone like Inline Tube, or one of the other vendors. I'll look around some and see what I can come up with.

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with E-Brake Brackets
 
I just stumbled onto this thread today, very neat idea. Any luck with a bracket to allow the use of 15" wheels? I saw you mentioned working on one, but I couldn't see if you had put one together yet. It is late, and I'm crashing hard so I could be missing it.

I do have a question for you though Capt., Going from a disc/drum setup to a disc/disc setup, Would that require a new master cylinder/booster combo? I'm getting ready to do a swap on the front of my '65 to discs, and am just curious if I am going to need to replace the booster/master parts again if I upgrade to rear discs. Booster is off a '89 C1500, and master is off a '79 C10. Thanks Capt.

I just about have a few of the ones that will accept 15" wheels, completed. Right now I'm waiting on an order of lazer cutting, which I should have by sometime next week.

Technically when you switch to 4 wheel discs, you should change your master cylinder and proportioning valve to disc/disc components. Some guys claim they have used the disc/drum components with success. If it were mine, I would switch the master to a disc/disc unit, and then install one of the Wilwood adjustable combination valves. You could actually install one of the Wilwood combination valves with your disc/drum setup.

Bringing this thread back to life. Anything wrong with keeping the 7/16x20 lugs? Are the holes in the rotors already set up for the 1/2 hole? Will this be a problem?

Captainfab 02-24-2012 12:22 AM

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with E-Brake Brackets
 
The wheel stud holes in the rotors are sized for 14mm studs which measure .551". Technically speaking, with the 7/16" studs which measure .437", you should probably have some bushings made to take up the difference. With that said, not everyone does so.

I am discontinuing this bracket. I will soon be releasing a different bracket for the 6 x 5.5" wheel stud pattern that will work with 15" wheels and also have an e-brake.
