I would like to see some pics of this setup. Also, what is considered the right and left of the car? When looking from the rear to the engine, is my left the left hand side or vice versa.

Awhile ago someone was kind enough to send me a pic of the axle flange.. can he or someone that has one send it to me? I can't quite figure out the orientaion of the caliper and which mounting braket to use.

 

Left and right refer to the car's left and right, which is the same as yours when you're sitting in the driver's seat facing forward.

This is the disc flange:

And this is the drum flange:

All the parts together look like this:

Just in case its useful too, the caliper explodes like this:

Apeiron, you rule!!! Do you have access to the part numbers for those parts?

 

Sure, which ones? I've been collecting info to convert the Moraine discs on my 84 to PBR's.

 

Well...as far as the top picture: 36 38 39 26 32 34.

Do you know what comes with the caliper? I will need all of the ebrake parts so worst comes to worst: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 23 24.

Where did you get those assy. views?

Thanks

 

I bought rebuilt calipers from Autozone when I did this upgrade on my 82.They came with all the e brake parts already on them,all I had to get was caliper mounts,pads,backing plates,rotors,e brake cables,and of course the calipers.The shims are no longer available through GM so I made my own out of flat brass shim stock in various thicknesses.Right and left of the car is considered as if you are standing at the back of the car looking towards the front,your left is cars left and vice versa.

What are the shims used for and what thickness do they need to be?

 

Ok, for the top diagram:

<table border=1><tr><td>26</td><td>Stud</td><td>9590476</td><td>Hopefully you already have a few of these on each side. </td></tr><tr><td>32</td><td>Rotor</td><td>10087702</td><td>Get these from any parts store.</td></tr><tr><td>34</td><td>Bolt</td><td>10097602</td><td>M12 x 1.75 x 21</td></tr><tr><td>36</td><td>Shim</td><td>26013017, 26013018, 26013019, 26013020</td><td>These are discontinued, but as mentioned, you can make your own. Shims are necessary to center the caliper carrier around the rotor. Required thickness varies.</td></tr><tr><td>38</td><td>Lockwasher</td><td>9439513</td><td>7/16 x 25/32 x 7/64</td></tr><tr><td>39</td><td>Nut</td><td>225854</td><td>3/8 x 24</td></tr></table>

The calipers do not come with 10, 13, 14 or 28. These are:

<table border=1><tr><td>10</td><td>Guide Pin Bolt</td><td>14067559</tr><tr><td>13</td><td>Guide Pin</td><td>14067560</tr><tr><td>14</td><td>Guide Pin Boot</td><td>14067552</tr><tr><td>28</td><td>Caliper Carrier</td><td>10112652</tr></table>
