Tweet

Thanks for the reply Pat, I will find me some used parts and consider that part done, at a price I can afford..

try hunting the junkyards for a '85-'90 iroc camero!
factory stock with disk brakes,they also have a pretty good parking brake setup!

Thanks Donnie I will make a note of that.

I used the disc brake set up off a 85 el drado cadallic they have a straight axle but the rear is the same as the trans am. they almost give them to me at the junk yard because they were off an odd ball. i made my bracket that bolts on to the rear end out of 1/4 inch plate. i have about 40,000 mile on them now.DSC00305.JPG jonathan

I used front rotors that slip on the axle, with 1980 Monte carlo front calipers and fabricatad a 1/4" bracket to hold them. For a parking brake I used a valve that is mounted up through the floor, when you want to engage the parking brake, you push the footbrake, pull up on the valve, then release the footbrake and it holds the car. The disks really work well.
