Greetings LSCustoms & all; Thank you for the conversion posts. I had exhausted more than one path to convert to rear discs back in 2003. Ended up paying a 20% restocking fee for a kit that didn't work out and gave up! And as I get more familiar with the forum I came across your post. You computer guys wonder how can anyone be so uniformed, if you had my job & hobbies you could of been in the same place. Anyway finding the info may be too late for me as my hot rod days are winding down. You may of seen my for sale post (79 Malibu 9C1). But you gave me enthusiasm and I thank you very much. I wanted to find your name to address you more personally, but was unsuccessful. Bob Jr.

Nice Stuff Dude, wish I had the patients to learn film editing. Your stuff will help a lot of people that normally wouldn't attempt this level of upgrade on their own.

I understand what a few of the guys are saying relative to the caliper hitting the frame and now I know why. The entire time I watched your four videos it never dawned on me you kept saying rear mounted caliper. How is that possible? Camaro has forward mounted calipers and thus the eBrake setup is designed to work that way. Swapping from one side to the other merely makes the eBrake triggers face the rear, the wrong way. Do you have these mounted upside down? What's the secret,

I give, I have the same issue and am looking for a way to resolve it. ...

unless you want to notch your frame for that, when you flip the brackets, the ebrake lever will face the other way... you would then make a simple bracket and mount your ebrake cable in from the front...
