I have a disc brake rear end from an '87 Z that I want to install. I need to know if the calipers from a '90 model will fit the '87 Z?

As a side question, will the hard line that is clamped to the differential housing of the drum brake rear end also work on the disc brake rear end?

Thanks!

1. Yes, with the correct PBR backing plates. The two designs will not interchange.

2. Not without modding the ends of the tubing and probably lengthening them. It would be easier to buy new from Inline Tube or Classic Tube.

Cool! Just to make sure I understand...the brackets will work fine, it's just the sheet metal backing plate that will not work?
