Chevy Brake Calipers -> Bolt spacing Question

Bill · 10-04-2006, 01:12 PM

I'm looking into doing a rear disc conversion on my 86 Turbo Pickup. I've looked around at it, and the most common route uses Chevy/GM calipers (El Dorado, Seville, Toronado, Monte Carlo, etc all seem common). But I've been having some trouble finding exact dimensions for the brackets I'll need to get/get made. I know that the Allpro and Doweny kits uses Monte Carlo calipers, but it would be great if I could order brackets from them and use different Calipers(specifically one's with an e-brake).

So can anyone out there tell me if they all use the same spacing on the caliper bolts?

I'll be doing this conversion on my truck soon (but I'm going to use a transfer case e-brake). Go to your local parts store and ask to see both types of calipers, put them next to each other and compare the two. If they wont let you do that, buy your parts someplace else.
