Guys I wanna run gen 4 camaro brakes what am I missing

[69greyghost]

Guys look I know this has been beat to hell most likely, I know I have even talked about it but I am hoping to get the answer quickly instead of having this take a long time to get the answers I need. Here is what I have, generation 4 98-02 v8 brake calipers and rotors from and rear, a 98-02 rear end for backing plates ( still gotta take those off), russel brake lines from summit part number 692280, machined drum hubs for the front, front brackets and rear spacers ( I was told aia needed some spacers for my axle). I guess my question is what am I missing and what do I need for an e brake on these brakes? Thanks in advance guys for any and all help.

cables....are you running staggered shocks in the rear? The right side will have clearance issues.

If you have disc spindles, you will also need spacers to mount the brackets as well.

I was told that was only in 67 camaro's not 69, is this correct?

I have drum spindles that have been turned down.

Anthony,I think what Tu was mentioning is the spacer between the spindle and the LS bracket since you have disc brake spindles. They are about a 1/4 nch round spacer, I will send you a picture.

For the ebrake cables, someone posted here before on how to modify or a few part numbers. I think Lokar may have some as well.

67's are not staggered, staggered arrangement will require 2 left sets or move the shocks.

Anthony, this may help. Did you buy the brackets from Joe with the spacers?

The spacer will mount between the bracket top hole (see pic) and the spindle:



If you do not have the spacers, give me a holler, I think I bought two sets from him. You may be able to get away with a thick washer.

For the rear, you can run a spacer similar to this, to center the caliper:



Give me a holler if you get stuck.

Gui, I have these brackets and the spacer. I think I need the e brake cables and the hooks Al was speaking of. Where did you get urs?

Anthony, hope this helps - good write-up.

As far as cables I am surprised nobody seems to be catering this market yet. I believe Ford Explorer and Grand Cherokee cables can do the trick. I am trying to figure out a way to move from foot to hand e-brake that will work while keeping the stock console so may do a left hand e-brake like in the Ferrari Mondial etc, by the driver's door.

You can also modify and utilize newer F-body cables or mix and match. I think you want to keep it in the stock foot brake position correct?

Another option if the goal is parking brake only function (or drag racing - kidding) only is to go hydraulic and a line lock type of approach - non electric. push regular brake pedal. press valve, front or rear parking brake engaged (go front if burnout bent plans )


Good luck!

I have the stock F body cables and brackets and stuff if you need it, I didn't use it on my chevelle build.
