lt1/ls1 rear brake upgrade

Do the brackets by Flynbye allow use of the parking brake?
Thanks

The parking brake provisions are on the calipers/backing plates, not the brackets

Re: lt1/ls1 rear brake upgrade

You mean, like, in the junkyard? Should be right next to the LT1 4th gens. We tend to use V8 designations, but any 4th gen of the same year, with rear discs ,would have the same brakes, V8 or V6.
