If you have OE rear disc brakes in the above years, please post the year and model of your car. Many thanks.

1989 iroc, t5, 5.0 tpi. Has a 7.5" I think. Anyone know if these rotors brackets can be swapped to a drum axle? Trying to change my ratio from 2.73 wout tossing the discs.

An 89 (7.6) with discs should be a 9-bolt with PBR's. Check the following link toward the end for more info on the swap:

Re: 87, 88, 89 Ten-Bolt Owners, Come In

No, sorry to hijack the thread, Ive got the delco moraine style ambidextrous iron calipers. I bought a rebuild kit once and found that my car was supposed to have pbrs. Ive already read the link you cited and found a drum flange needs to be swapped with a disc flange. Is that correct?

Maybe it is a 9 bolt. it has a filler cap on the diff. Sorry, thought it was a 10 bolt.
