- ALL MY VIDEOS ARE IN 1080P HI DEF SO CHECK THAT OUT...
the cheaper drum to disc conversion kit they sell that relocates a cadillac eldorado (79-85) rear disc brake caliper with bracket to an existing drum brake vehicle.
the car is a 70 chevelle with a 12 bolt.
these kit are sold for many different applications but this one is for 64-72 gm 10 and 12 bolt cars.
some 4x4 places sell these calipers for certain applications.
$300 on ebay.
one of my first videos so feel free to comment anything that may help me make a better video... thank you - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Better than some factory videos. Keep um coming.
Hub centric adapter is what you were thinking. Thanks for the video!
You did a really great video!
So I have that style set up but I bought Eldorado rotors as well but the rotors won't fit over the axle what style of rotors are you using are they c 10 rotors
when the suspension is compressing, do the calipers hit the frame at all? had a problem with that on a rear brake conversion i got a while ago and looking at this kit as a replacement
do you have a video on the emergency brake cable on a 1970 chevelle? how to hook it back up after it was dissembled
when you pull the pin to remove clip is it the same both sides? Do you flip the gears over for the other axle? Same pin does both sides?
I just updated but now my ebrake cable is a couple inches short do you have PN for the longer cables
My kit came with SS hoses with banjo fittings. Getting them attached to the brake lines was a
PITA. One line reached the fitting where the flexible hose attaches. I failed to find a male to male fitting to adapt the hose to the OEM fitting. Other users will be appreciative of your video as the location of the brackets was not pictured or describe well in the instructions. Be glad the brake caliper mounting brackets mount to the outside of the axle flange. Like pre-1965 Impalas. Mine mounted to the inside of the flange. This was not machined and the brackets were not square. Instructions were of no help.
.
What Pads did you use? i've been trying to look up pads but they all say they're for the front brakes. are they the same/ interchangeable with the front pads?
79 eldorado Cadillac rear disc
Have a 72 C10. Do all kits require you to remove drive axles?
Yes
hi this brake disk is 10 or 11 inch?
Doing similar kit on my F250 as I speak with eldorcrapo calipers..I feel your pain what a nightmare especially on a full floating axle
+joe8388 yeah, this is one of my early videos and its not that good but i had to put something out there.... i struggled to figure the kit out for about a week.... i have another video taking the caliper apart in case they are confusing you... thanks for watching and good luck with the conversion
Thanks man, I got it all done but am dealing with leaking calipers. We decided to buy brand new calipers, the company that does this kit is the only company around that I know of that has permission from GM to make these new this way I don't have to deal with reman
hey you mentioned not being a mechanic ..you have a day job. you do outstanding work for not being a "mechanic" ...what the heck is your day job? scientist ...doctor?.
I have this same kit and i don't know how to adjust the r brake ,i got no directions on that part of the installation and when i pull the brake it comes full out and no park brake.
Miles Puckett Watch the eldorado caliper video where i take it apart... IM ABOUT TO MAKE A video adjusting them very soon
Hey, I am trying to install CPP's Big Brake kit on the rear of my 65 Chevelle. Had to relocate the shocks inboard to clear the calipers. Where did your rear shocks go? I don't see them in the video.
they are in the same place yours are...
Thanks for the reply. I hope I have enough clearance from the frame above the large caliper. Does the rear suspension travel up far enough up to bottom out against the rubber stopper on the frame? If so, I may have to limit my suspension somehow, or mount the dang calipers ahead of the wheel. I think it would look goofy though since the front caliper is at the 2:00 position. What do you think Chris?
ive never had a chevelle bottom out on the rubber stoppers... (but i have only had (68-72) mine has 2 inch drop springs and it will never bottom out... just put them on and if there are problems.. fix them when you get there.. make a video.... thats what people what to see on youtube...
Is there any reason you went with Eldo rear disc's instead of 98-02 camaro rears ? I have 18's on my Chevelle and I'm in desperate need of some disc brakes on a budget ..
because the calipers match the front disc and they look stock.. i didn’t even consider those camaro brakes.. I have 20s on my car and they look like they came from the factory
@@chriscraft77022 yours sits tough , it's got the look for sure .. thanks for getting back to me 👍
Where did you get the rubber hose that comes off the caliper? Was ti original to your car?
+Dick Mick the kit comes with rubber hoses
Damn you people are picky. Bitching about the music, really? Some people would bitch if Chris gave free prime rib so you could watch him work in this video. It's easy to ignore. Chris, thanks for the video. I'll be doing this with my 73 Firebird soon, this gave some great insight. (Talking like I know you LOL) Thanks dude.
How e brake works?
I’m installing the same rear disc brake conversion as yours on my 70 Pontiac lemans but the factory axles are slightly bigger diameter mount/lug side that the rotors that came with the kit don’t fit... Any suggestions?
You have the wrong rotors then
Chris Craft Wrong rotors, which rotors would you suggest? What summit axles did you get for yours?
maybe you have BOP rear end I don’t know anything about those maybe hub is different .. my car has GM 12 bolt “car” .. that’s what I bought axles and rear brakes for
Yeah your right mine is a BOP 10 bolt GM rear end. Even though the kit says for a 10/12 bolt GM rear end not always right
you have to get rotors machined if they are too small.. or a machinist has to make thin rings to fit the gaps if rotor is too big.. hub centric rings..
Hey Chris I just did front and rear conversion on my 71 chevelle and for some reason the rear calipers don't have pressure and the front ones do! Any ideas
did you change the proportioning valve..?
The one they send on the kit
From right stuff
I have an eldorado caliper adjustment video.. you have to dial them in
Yes I did use the one they send on the kit from right stuff and I notice that when I was bleeding the line's!! the rears the oil come out really slow compare to the front
Has this system been agood one ?
it’s a factory gm system... of course it’s good
hi chris is it the same for a 12 bolt rear end? mine is a chevelle 1971
my car has a 12 bolt
@@chriscraft77022 thanks.
I have drum break in the rear. And every time I hit the break my car feels like it slides.
there is nothing wrong with rear drums.. I drove them for years.. I only put rear disc because I didn’t want my wheels showing the brake drums.. I would rebuild them before changing to rear disc.. it’s a lot of work
@@chriscraft77022 ok thanks for advice.
Still watching the video .👌🏼
Whatever you do just make damn sure lol
Searched for Cat playing with Rear End, looks like i am in the wrong place
🤔
Hello friend.
I saw your video and I enjoyed very much
I also wanted to convert the back brake disk ..
I wanted your help, I need the store address ( if makes deliveries to Israel)
Can you help me with this?
I thank you and hope to see more improvements in your videos thanks
Sorry for my English..
Micha .. ( my van is gmc 1989 rally gtx 4.3l )
+Micha Nadav i bought the kit off ebay, i dont remember who i bought it from... but type in 68-72 chevelle rear disc brake kit.. its around $350 USD
those calipers all leak,unable to repair.Recommend different calipers.
great info but turn down the radio
Great video! but that music in the background is awful! Especially if you want someone listening to you on point guidance!
sorry, early video
don't worry about that guy. The music is fine
Very similar to one I used on mopar 8 3/4. E brake adjustment was fun, NOT
Don’t bring a Ford talk into this grown folks chevy talk
what does that mean?
just a goober moment ...when i work on anything requiring torque..once torqued, mark it with a sharpie marker or paint pen, then you know its been torqued
Backround "music" is VERY annoying and too loud.
🥱
Jay, I agree, but as much as I tried to get away from it, the music WAS a distraction for me also , thanks for the video, I have installed all of this New shit on my '52 chevy panel, custom plumbing and STILL stopping this son of a bitch like Fred Flintstone, if any of you youngster know WHO that is ???? John
Next video, kill the music or lower it a lot, it is drowning you out.. Ruining your teaching moment.
early video, sorry..
