How to Modify your 10 Bolt Axle for LS1 Brakes

I found these videos and thought they would help someone who's a little afraid of taking on the job. It doesn't look too bad...

You can buy a bracket to bolt on so you don't have to cut the rear end.

Who sells the bracket?

of you get the ebrake backing plate from the ls1 donor , dont need the bracket, just cut and drill 4 holes on the rear. pretty simple by the looks of it.

From the video it looks as if you have to cut the flange some too otherwise the backing plate doesn't mount flush. Nothing too difficult according to what I saw in the video.

yup, im going to try this soon, though i didnt get the ebrake cables from the donor car. i think someone made the oem cables work , that video is a great find

I'll have to look at the video when i get home. I don't care to drill the extra holes but would hate to cut off anything. Funny, last night i was figuring on doing the LS front brakes. Now looking at doing both.

That video really needs to be posted as a sticky.

I've done them on my car, not to bad, just take your time and make sure and measure a few times. If u don't use the oem backing plates u won't have a parking brake. Joel

Flynbye does have a bracket if you dont want ebrake

I think they sale custom ebrake cables too. Not 100% though.
