I also have recently purchased Steve's brackets and


will be doing an install this weekend.... PIX TO FOLLOW

Now...

What do you do different if you want to relocate your e-brake to the rear wheels?

Chuck

 

[cruiserjunktion]

use caddillac rear calipers with the parking brake built into them......

not sure if posers bracket is for caddillac calipers or not or

you could install a line lock and lock all four brakes

 

[Fireman]

Caddy calipers were $55 or so a piece. I'm a cheap bastard and will use a line lock if I just gotta have an e-brake.

 

[Degnol]

The ElDorado calipers will fit Poser's brackets, but running the cables to the p-brake and getting them adjusted is not easy. Why would you ditch the stock LC brake, are you doing some TC mods?
I would stick with the Monte calipers and K.I.S.S.

Got an auto tranny and np241 tcase so no stock ebrake! In a Pig so offset rear end and ctr output tcase doesn't hurt me.

David,

2 bolts to hold the brake lines to the calipers from local dealer
PN 88891786
$12.00

Was it a Nissan dealer that you got these bolts from?

 

[Isotel]

It would be the GM Caliper, so i am Assuming the GM Dealer..

My Local Autoparts Place had the Bolts in stock.. Just bring in the caliper, and find the banjo bolt that fits

David,

I went to the GM dealership and the parts drone didn't want to just look for a couple. He looked them up in the computer... They were like $3 a piece, but they had none in stock and would have to order them from an east coast distribution center or something.

I went to NAPA with the parts in hand and found a couple in a bin of banjo bolts.

 

[78toyFJ40]

Thanks m8's!

I have a GM bolt but the hole in it does not line up with the hole in the Raybestos bajo fitting. I will try the good old NAPA.

 

[DSRTRDR]

as for the cadillac calipers with e-brake cable, my husband hates them on his GMC full size K5 truck, the e-brake cable ratchet mehanism is not terribly reliable, gets stuck, and is a pain to adjust.

As for the rear disk conversion: you will need a proportioning valve or a master cylinder that contains one.........

Does the center of the k1500 discs (listed in the first post) need to be machined out?

 

[Degnol]

yes ithey do.

Yep they need to be machined out to .419 or something like that. Poser has them already done also.

 

[TCSTARK]

Brackets, rotors and miscellaneous can be provided by Poser. Money well spent in my book.
