Hey,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm unsure how to even search for this topic.

I have an '84 Firebird, which, to the best of my knowledge, uses double flares for the brake lines.

I just bought brakes off of a 98 Camaro (LS1 swap) and would like to use these brakes.

How exactly would I go from the double flare at the junction (rear axle) to the calipers? Is there some kind of adapter?

What about for the fronts??

Thanks!!!

 

there are adapters you can pick up at the parts stores, I thought 84 was the first year for iso ???

 

is it? Would make my life easier!!

 

I replaced everything in the rear of my '85 Z28 and am in the process of replacing the front and I believe its all ISO bubble flare. Still not sure if and what adapters you may or may not need. The LS1 thread didn't cover this?

 

I just looked at the LS1 tech article, and that was vague about what years had double flares, and what had iso.. thanks though..

 

I just replaced a wheel cylinder in my '85 and it had ISO bubble flares. But when I took one off my '84 junker, it had double flares. Howerver, the junker car was heavily modified before I got a hold of it (IE: 28 spline axles and no emergency brake hardware, even inside the drums), so thats still not really conclusive. From what I have seen between the two cars, there are alot of minor changes that took place between '84 and '85 like that.
