A: Disc Brake REAR Kit: 64-72 (Nova, Camaro Firebird)
Reviews

For the GM 10 or 12 bolt REAR ..staggered or NON Staggered..you choose..

CHOOSE...

Staggered Caliper fittment., LHS is forward.. RHS is rear of the diff.

Non staggered.. both calipers are on the forward side of the diff.

You need 15" rims minimum

   A kit that allows you to convert from Rear drum to Rear disc in a factory engineered way.

for

68-69 Camaro Firebird,

68-72 Nova X body

For non staggered shock cars (shocks are located on the rear of the axle on each side ) generally A-body (GTO, Chevelle, Cutlass etc have non staggered.

F/X Body are normally Staggered (Camaro Firebird Nova) - (RHS shocks located forward & LHS is rear  of the axle ....hence are known as "Staggered")  above image is STAGGERED.

 

   If comparing kits.. check the complete requirements you will need in the end rather then just a few main parts.. it's normally simple to buy the lot at once that was made to be compatible in its entire construction rather then a few bits here & there... that might look pretty but have no engineering history  etc.. etc.

     If you have been in the trade a bit.. you will also recognise the valve that the rotors and pads are GM  stardard source replacements..and are .. on going.. a commonly available part. Also good for most all rego authorities.

STOCK .. Currently stocks are turning over... but if need be - book a kit or allow 21 days or less for supply if you need to .. plan ahead..  Various reductions of components can be assembled ..ie no booster or MC etc, .. but in reality... the savings are minimal and all components are geared to work properly with each other.

Delivery:  Truck freight only .. NO COD.. this is a very kit of normally three  heavy cartons. Costs for Australian delivery is $66 to $99 pro-rata from Wollongong, NT & Regional WA freight costs are more.

HELP: with rear disc brakes 

Incorrectly bled or adjusted rear calipers

Rear calipers that have an internal parking brakewith a lever can be troublesome. These calipers must be adjusted so that the piston is moved out and the pads are close to the rotor. If this initial adjustment is not made the pistons will travel outward during activation but no squeezing of the rotor will occur. This can be checked by clamping off the rear hoses and checking if the pedal gets better. Adjust as necessary.

Incorrect Booster Pin Length

The booster pin that pushes on the master cylinder must almost be touching the master cylinder piston face. A gap larger than 1/32" will begin to introduce a spongy pedal. Adjust as necessary.

Incorrect Master Cylinder

If the bore size of the master cylinder is too small for the fluid requirements of the system you will get a very poor pedal. This will happen most frequently with four piston calipers and with four wheel disc brakes. The only solution for this is to install a larger bore master cylinder or a true four wheel disc master

Bleeder Screws MUST always be ON TOP

Doing a brake custom job.. then remember that the bleeder screws on calipers must be at the 12:00 position on the caliper to allow all the air to escape during bleeding.

    A very common mistake installers  make is to reverse the side the caliper goes on - giving you a situation where the caliper bleeder screw is facing down. It's also common to use the wrong side caliper on a bolt on disc kit giving a situation where the bleeder hole is shifted from the 12:00 position producing a pocket of air at the top of the caliper bore which can not be dislodged. Check your bleeder hole orientation.
