RE: [Chevelle-list] Disc Brake Conversion Questions

[65ss.com]

When you say B Body what are you referring to? I've already bought the front disc brakes off of a GTO.  I'm looking for the master cylinder to work.  Is there anything that will bolt in, and clear a big block? I did think about buying a '67 Chevelle Master Cylinder and Booster from the local auto parts store, but it doesn't seem I get many responses when asking questions.    Is there a 'dual circuit' master cylinder that will bolt to my current '65 power booster? If not, what year make/model power booster and master cylinder will I need that should bolt up? What proportioning valve will I need for disc / drum?    As I said in my last post, I just bought a 83-92 Camaro/Firebird Master cylinder, booster, and Proportioning valve.  I'd like to use as much of this as possible, but if I can find an easier bolt in solution, I'm for that also.    Also, regarding rear brakes, I was told that 93-97 rear camaro disc brakes will bolt up to my 12 bolt rearend.  Is this true?   Thanks in advance Charles   P.S. If there is any other active Chevelle Tech mailing list that I can join, I'd like to know about those also -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 4:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Disc Brake Conversion Questions The F body booster is not a direct bolt on, you will need to make a bracket for it.  The master cylinder will work, but an Aluminum one from a B body would be better (larger bore).  YOu can go to any local auto parts store and get a new booster/master cylinder for about $130.  Another set of spindles that will work are the 69-80 F body spindles, you just have to use the chevelle steering arm.  Another option is the B body 12" conversion.  All you need to do that is get the offset upper control arm shaft, and new ball joints for that application from Hotchkis.   Tom
