Got my stuff today as a matter of fact, granted it took a bit from time of order but I'm not in a rush so I didn't really care. I'm sure the guy doesn't keep a huge inventory and makes stuff as ordered to keep costs down and parts affordable.

i live in ontario canada so im gonna assume it will take quiet a bit of time to get it...i have a full disc brake rear with a rough housing just thinking this might be an easier route to go instead of cutting and drilling holes

if you have a 10 bolt you will need to shim the mounting plates. If you email them they will sell parts seperatly. Drum axle housing is smaller so you need the centering shim to take up the spoace and stress off the bolts and it centers the mounting plate. You might even post in the wanted section for used caliper mounting plates.

Re: Anyone use the hassle free disc brake conversion?
my swap was a little different and im verry pleased. I did the swap on my 67 camaro.I used new 10-12 bolt pbr backing plates spacer and shims from andyz28.com. I used a adjustable proporting valve from ssbc and called up baer brakes and used flex lines and ebrake cables from there pbr kit for first gen camaro's. I rebuilt some pbs's I got from ebay and purchased new rotors and pads. For my conversion I had to have the axle flanges machined down.

Gives a professional and clean job, like it came from the factory.
Off cours some parts can be purchased separately from different places too.
Here the pics of my conversion https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/brak...m-o-e-j65.html
Where did you find NOS brackets? I have been looking for a pair for over 2 years with no luck.
