I purchased a moser 9" rear end and at the time wanted to stay with the factory rear drum brakes to save on cost (I thought) After I ordered the rear end I found out we couldnt use our stock rear drums any way and needed to install drums off of say a 71 chevelle (9.5" drums) Now that I have those housing ends on there and its such a hassle to get parts for a different cars drums and know how it all goes togeher. I was wondering If there is anyway to run disc brakes with those rear end housing ends on there. Possibly a aftermarket conversion bracket or soemthing? Has anybody made the same mistake as me and changed over to disc?? Thanks for the help guys!
The housing ends are gm 10 bolt 12 bolt housing ends and there labeled just 12 bolt in the picture attached. So I think the lt1 backing plate would bolt up but how do I know if the offset is right ? Where can I buy the lt1 brackets as well? Thanks
The standard GM offset/overhang is 2.75", verify that with the guys who built your rear. If you have standard c clip axles then the LS1 and LT1 backing plates will work.
