Will 4th gen rear brakes bolt on 3rd gen?

And if so are they worth the upgrade?

How did you manage to get the parking brake assembly to fit up and work?

Thanx,ANDYZ28

I fabbed up a bracket for underneath the tranny tunnel (using a part of the OEM brackets that bolt to the LCA's - I've got pix coming) to hold the two cables' ends where they connect to the actual brake cable (Da<x>mn, did that make any sense?). The brackets will bolt right up to stock LCA components after drilling a simple hole; I have Spohn tubular LCA's and relocation brackets so I had to mod mine a bit "further" to get it to work.

Like I said, I've got pix on the way, so stay tuned!

Let's see 'em!!!

I'm anxious. I just got a brakeless '89 9 bolt and I'll need a set of these. I'd really like the drum e-brake inside the rotor type, just for the coolness of it.




Ed, workin' on a 1LE

I was just at a junkyard today and they have a 4th gen that was in a wreck and caught on fire. The car had disc brake rear with the 16" 5 spoke wheels on it. I didnt look at the gears yet but i would think its posi since the car had a 350. I was wondering if the rear and brakes will work on my 86 z28 with drum brakes. the only thing i tought was different was brake lines but im not sure. wondering if anyone has done this swap and what kind of gears the car might have (its an automatic and i know there would be a tag but i didnt look while i was there) thanks!
