so now what after this step

Thats it dude, we covered everything.

i thought you had to cut part of the axle or something.. its just the part right behind the all the rear drum assembly 'stuff'??

Yes. Only what I showed in the pictures.

I need to do this.

For $200, everyone needs to do this.

Only thing I really don't like is having larger rear discs. I need to find a way to swap to 13" fronts.

Are the stock brake lines able to be reused, or do they need to be made up? Rotors, calipers, yada yada is easy. Cutting the backing plate off is no problem too. Then just a matter of getting the mounting bracket from the guy off ebay correct?

seth made his. shouldnt be that hard, bolt up the rotor, stick the caliper on w/ a spacer and measure for a bracket.

ok well i did a rough estimate finding everything on ebay and it would roughly run about $230 shipped for everything.

*waiting on the question to be answered about the brake lines*

you can not(or should not) bolt hard lines into a caliper.

so what new lines are needed?

Yeah I made my own brackets.

I bought the flex lines for the calipers and put brackets on my axles to hold them in place. Works good. I'm bending all new brake lines, front and rear.

flex lines are available at any parts store. and all we're doing is following the same route as the existing brake lines right, no trick route..

Leave your existing hardline alone other than to modify for adding the rubber lines.

For my setup I marked my hardline, cut it down and took it in to have new fittings to match the rubber lines. I dd this because I used 83 Caddy rear calipers and plan on using the ebrake. That and I have yet to find a good portable double flaring tool that I haven't thrown, stomped or driven over out sheer rage, LOL.

so just the part of the line going to the caliper is all that needs to be touched...sweet

thanks fellas.


ima slowly get my parts together and eventually do this
