Thanks for the educational video. I'm planning to implement this on our 68 Chevy II Nova all drum car soon.

I have footage, I lost some audio and ended up putting an 8.5 10 bolt in the car and then focused on getting the car to move under its own power. I will use what footage I have and add some with everything in place already. Camaro booster/master cylinder, rear calipers and brackets complete with parking brake working off the factory Nova foot brake.

@@Robertorod-l1g The Stop Shop Metric Brake Line Adaptor for 3/16" Tube, (Female) Inverted Flare, 3/8-24 to (Male) ISO/Bubble Flare, Metric 10mm x 1 (Pack of 2) a.co/d/91YyNwO You will have to check if your thread size is 3/8-24 on the car side. If it is a different thread you will have to find the same 10mm bubble flare adapter with the correct opposite end for what you need. After doing more lines I would just cut the car side end off and get a metric tube nut that threads into the brake line. Also a bubble flare is just the first stage of a 45 degree double inverted flare, just don't follow thru with the second cone shaped anvil.

That caliper looks awfully close for comfort. I couldn’t imagine if a rock or any debris were to work it’s way in there. Have you had any issues with this clearance since installing?

@sixesand9s56 2 жыл бұрын

I have not. I actually never drove it with those Camaro wheels tho. I found a set of imitation centerline autodrags and they seem to have a little more clearance. I am able to run the rear wheel with no spacer with these, the Camaro wheels needed a spacer. I have been daily driving the car with a complete 4 wheel disc swap for a few months, 45 miles a day. I drive thru a large crushed concrete driveway at work. No issues yet.

What happened bro you never did the rear brakes???

@sixesand9s56 7 ай бұрын

I did actually. I did film it but lost audio on quite a bit of it and never put anything together to post. To sum it up I will say the rears will bolt on with the abutment brackets with a multleaf rear end. The monoleaf requires modification to the passenger side lower shock mount to clear the calipers. The parking brake will work with the factory nova intermediate cable and the rear Camaro cables. I plan to do some work on the 4 door soon so I will try to get the 2nd video done even if I need to narrate a bit of it.
