Hey, I have several questions about the rear brakes. I think I remember reading about a brake conversion similar to the grand am one but that allowed the use of an e-brake, I cant remeber where I read it and havent been able to find it here or on pennocks. Anybody know of something like this? My other question is if such a thing is possible would it use the fiero e-brake cable or something else? Thanks, Ryan

As I mentioned at the meeting, Grand Am or Le baron on the front is easy, then doing the Cadillac rear caliper swap on the back. You will get much larger brakes and be able to keep your E-Brake. I would talk to Austin about it as he has done a great deal of research on it. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

I heard my name :P Is there someplace I can upload files?? I can upload the adapter diagrams/parts lists that I have collected along the way for various swaps. The GrandAm swap i think I just googled for and used this page more or less http://fierozone.tripod.com/realbrakes/index.html - http://fierozone.tripod.com/realbrakes/index.html -------------
