quick ??? fourthgen rear

I just purchased a 2000 gu6 g80 to go in my 91rs drum brake car. I have taken a pic of what I think is the t-block that I believe I need. if so then what other parts do I need to complete the swap? and does anyone make a parking brake bracket that is willing to sell? I am trying to do the swap asap. thx

Re: quick ??? fourthgen rear

the parking brake bracket slips over the lower control arm mounts, you didn't get all that with your rear?

Re: quick ??? fourthgen rear

Got that takin care of. But now the huge problem is that the proportion valve is still stock disk/drum. Tried to buy a disk/disk valve from summit racing part# 760185 . but that is not the right one. My lines are stock metric 91rs with 2000 disk rear swap. Only thing stopping me from driving is this and bleeding.


Help !!!!!!!!

I think I found some metric to sae brake line adapters since the only part number I seem to be able to pull up anywhere is that same summit racing part # 760185.

No need for a new prop valve. You just need a new spring to go into your current one. Do not waste your time and money on a new one, please.

You can unscrew a fitting type thing from the front of the prop valve, then pull out a spring, and then you put in a new one. Can't remember the part number for the new spring, put that is what I did and it worked perfect
