89 PBR Rear brakes - 9 Bolt

I am wondering if anyone has some pics of the 12" BBR rear brakes on any thirdgens with 9 Bolt? The 10 bolts are different since I have a set of them also I forgot to take pics before I stripped my 89 firebird so I can get them all back together correctly on 86 TA.

Also so you have to push back those goofy caliper pistons?

Thanks

Howie

There is a tool to push the piston in if you don't have a large C clamp or channel locks to squeeze the piston in.
All the PBR brakes are the same whether you put them on a 9 or 10 bolt. The caliper trails the axle and the bleeders point up
