I only have a few pictures of the rear brake setup. I will add more as I take them. Check back for details on that. This setup has NO EMERGENCY BRAKE. If that is a problem for you... sorry!

Here are a few handy reference items I developed during this project:

Here is the drawing of the caliper brackets I made. This is only useful if you plan to use 11.4" diameter '84 300 ZX rear rotors and the Wilwood Dynalite Single calipers.

Excel Spreadsheet I created to calculate all of the forces.
This is all based on Fred Puhn's Math Handbook. A great reference if you are redesigning your brake system. If you don't understand the spreadsheet , read the book. If you still don't understand the spreadsheet, feel free to ask any questions. I make no guarantee that the data that you get from this spreadsheet is even close to accurate. That said, I only had to make a 1 turn adjustment to get the brake bias right on my car.


My first pass... I realized this was a bad idea immediately.
At this angle the brakes can never be fully bled


I refabricated the brackets to mount the calipers at a "bleedable" angle.


Here is the first bracket... The final set looks exactly the same only rotated 90 degrees.
The brackets are made of 3/8" thick 6061-T6 Aluminum.
HELPFUL HINT: Notice how I have the brake fitting routed to the top of the frame arch? Don't do that... I made it about 100 feet before the halfshaft hit the flex hose and broke the line leaving me with no brakes!
