Has anybody seen one of these, it's a GN rear end with disc brakes? I just picked it up and wanted to know if anybody has seen one or know about the drum to disc swap.

I thought the GNX was the only GN that actually came with rear disc brakes? not positive about that though
I don't see any provision for an emegency brake(maybe I missed it), so I would have to say its a conversion. I know there was one out there that used the same calipers that our cars use on the front, kinda looks like that.
The one thing i do not like is the brake hose is higher than the bleeder. I would think it would trap air. I would modify that if it was mine.
You are absolutely correct, it is a conversion and there is no hookup for the emergency cable so you are probably correct twice that they are the same calipers as the front ones.jrm81bu said:
Yes the hoses will have to be changed anyways as they are cracked so i will change the setup on them somehow.85olds4spd said:
I always thought that that set always looked cheap to me. I like the LS1 F-body rear disk brake conversion much better, just come cutting and tap a couple holes and bolt them on(bigger too) and have the internal parking brake built inside the rotor.
Does anybody know if a different caliper with emergency brake cable equipped will fit on this rear end? I read somewhere online that Firebirds with WS6 suspension code will fit, and also a Cadillac Seville from 80-86 might also work but i want to confirm this. As long as it will bolt on to the bracket i think they will work but not sure.
