rear disc swap

[81msw79]

does anyone know if this kit would work on a 81 Malibu http://www.ebay.com/itm/350716185298?ss ... 1423.l2649

finding older stuff in the boneyards around my area is like pulling teeth. I also wanted to stay with the 15" rallies I have on the car.

How handy are you.

You could make this kit work but its not a bolt up due to the differences in the axles backing plate flanges.

I can pretty handy when need be . my concern more or less was the e-brake cable adapters and the frame clearance.

I have fitted my car for rear disk and I have the f body hand brake installed with the f body rear parking brake cables. I still have the drums on my 8.2 rear since I'm lazy and havn't got my manual master yet. The cables fit both the drum brake and disk brake set up so you won't have to make any adapters if you are using the stock G body cables

My junk is on this thread. I used the 98-02 LS1 Rear stuff. ...

the hand brake wont work for me . I still have a bench seat in the wagon . I need to stay with the foot actuated cables.

I said the stock G body cables will work without any mods...you can't use the G body cable with an f body hand brake
