I did not realize that you were in need of a replacement for the factory bracket that holds the end of the cable. I have a set of Camaro calipers that have the factory bracket that I could duplicate if that is something that is needed. I just assumed that everyone had that bracket.

I'm having a hell of a time finding new calipers that have this e-brake bracket included. I'm having just a hard of time finding a used set to rob them off. John, help us (me) out!

Here are my issues,

The intermediate truck parking brake cable is short about 3 1/4 inches with the camaro cables. I had to improvise a solution. I dont have detachable connectors for the cables for the trailing arms, that could be the solution. Move them forward to take out the slack.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
Yeah, it looks like the cables to the calipers is plenty long enough. So if you were to mike the mounting bracket on the trailing arm forward, the cables should hook up?

So aside from the brackets on the calipers, are some brackets for the trailing arm end of the cable needed?

To make it work like a kit, that would probably do it. I am going to order another set of calipers soon and see if they come complete again.

Good thing is that I didnt have to cut my brake lines at all to make them work.

Good to know. Thank you!

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
So I am getting ready to tackle this conversion. Question I have is what Master cyl and proportion valve is to be used? I have an 85 1/2ton SWB with 10 bolt.

Captainfab 04-17-2012 12:21 AM

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
Well you can use either a mid 70's Corvette master or the '93-'97 Camaro master. The Camaro master will be aluminum with the plastic reservior. As for the proportioning valve, most any OEM disc/disc valve will be a starting point. However you may still need an adjustable valve in the rear line to get your braking dialed in the way you like it. Or you could just go with the Wilwood 260-11179 prop valve to start with.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
Would the 93-97 Camaro Master work in my 69 Chevy Suburban?

Captainfab 04-17-2012 11:47 PM

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
That should work just fine. Do you have an original style booster?

Yes, I have the original booster.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
The Camaro master will bolt right up. Just check the length of the pushrod between the booster and the master to be sure it is the correct length.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
Does it fit the same brake lines as the factory master too or do you need to replace those?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
 
I don't have hands on experience with the Camaro master, but I would imagine it will have metric line fittings. Every other master I have worked with of that vintage, has had metric fittings.

Not unless it has had the GM truck/Impala ends welded on it when it was narrowed
