Rear Disc brake conversion brackets

[Scarebird]

Good Morning. We thought we better show how our stuff works so there are no misunderstandings! We use 1979 through 85 Cadillac Eldorado rear calipers and rotors. It works well, and bolts up to the stock 3 bolt housing flange.

They are a perfect hydraulic match for the stock front calipers. The rotors are 10-1/2" in diameter, so not only will they tuck inside 15" rims, they will fit inside 14" also- my 83 Berlinetta has them and they work fine.

The only non-bolt up work concerns the axle flange: the outer diameter needs to be trimmed down about 1/8" to fit inside the rotor, and new, longer studs must be installed. Also, custom e-brake cables are needed, the cables run around $65.

Our brackets are 85/pair plus shipping for TurboBuick cutomers. We are also working on a mongo setup for a 87 GN, using C5 equipment.

Looks really good.any tests compared to the stock drum set up VS (cadillac set up).Would like the c5 set up but you would probably need 17"or 18" rims right?

Do you sell these custom e-brake cables?

1. main difference between disc and drum is better wet stopping and less fade.

2. No, these C5 rotors are 12", so 15's most likely will not fit.

Thanks for answering my question.

If you do not offer the e brake cables, where would I get them and what are they for. Also you mentioned that you use a cadillac rear rotor. Would the s-10 front 4wd also work? Thanks

We use Control Cable out of Sante Fe Springs, CA. Give them the dimensions you need and around 65 bux, and in two weeks you will have your pieces. The 83-95 S10 4WD and 79-85 Eldo rotors are the same unit.
