This will also work on a disc brake rear-ends, there is no need to cut the top mounting bracket off the axel and drill and tap the holes as they are all ready to the correct place and tap size on disc brake rears.

    Good morning. Which big brake upgrade for a thirdgen f-body uses a 1LE hub. I’d like to use one to space my front wheels out more for use with the front wheels I got.

    Thanks, Ryan

    Thank you so much for the detailed information on the c4 vette to 3rd gen fbody front brake swap. I installed the 13″ brakes with j55 caliper and your bracket was a perfect fit. Had a local machine shop make it out of 6061 aluminum. Then, changed all the brake hoses to power stop stainless, and my booster and master to an 02 ls1 and it stops like a whole different car.
