ULTIMATE BUDGET DISC BRAKE CONVERSION! Less Than $400 For Dual Piston Front Brakes On My '72 Skylark
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 апр 2024
- Swapping To LS1/ F-Body front brakes and G Body style for the rear on the 1972 Buick Skylark. This works with all GM A, F & X Cars and 10/12 bolt rear ends. Now, the parts that I specifically used totaled a hair over $600, but at the end I go over how it could have been done for SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. But, I'm sure someone is still going to throw a fit in the comments about me spending more than $400. Idk, go cry about it.

Front right hub sure looks like something off an equipment trailer.
FYI for G-body and S10 guys. You can take steering knuckles, bearing hubs, rotors and calipers off of a late body style 2wd blazer and swap it onto your gbody or s10 and it gives you a 1" bigger rotor and 2 piston calipers in the front, and discs in the back. All you have to do to make the rears fit is grind the corners of the flange on the rear end down a tiny bit. Poor man's big brake kit.
Man that hub will warp that rotor that could actually hurt your wheel long time viewer great what you and your pops do
When i ran circle track cars we always looked for the Buicks in the junkyard because they had the bolt in axles.
Fiero Josh! I guess this is going to be another summer without the Fiero? I love Deathrow Skylark and I want it up and running, but the Fiero needs to be finished!
Seen you taking the diff cover off and was confused lol. 71/72 Skylarks used the 8.5 rear end with bolt in axles. Makes it easier to do the rear disc brake conversion. Shocked that its not 2.73 gears though. I put Brembos from the 2021 ZL1 on my 72 Skylark. I had 4 drums with a power booster.
Cool upgrade,thanks for the info
Looking good 👍👍
That top bolt on your bracket look like a grade 5 bolt
Just get a matching hub lol 😆
I did rear disc brake conversion on my g body and I used a master cylinder out of a Camaro iroc that came with 4 wheel disc brakes. Manual brake conversion using a chevette plunger rod and gutted the booster to bolt it all up. Along with my line lock setup it works perfectly.
I install my line lock on the rear tires like you’re saying and it worked perfectly for me. May need to use a different solenoid. I use it as a poor man “trans brake” and burn out line lock.
You can use late model s10/blazer spindles on an A body. The ballpoint holes just need slight reaming
Sheesh she’s turning into my favorite vehicle in the channel.
Think I woulda just ordered a replacement passenger side hub
Is that the Aces fuel injection kit on that awesome ol Buick?
The Snylark Will Stop On A Dime Now. 😂😎🤘
Love the wheels can you send me a link to them
I might be interested in the 2.41 Gear
BOP with bolt in axles is a hybrid rear. Easy to bolt axles in but there is very small gear availability for those 8.2. Rear cover is dead giveaway. Junk it and get a real 8.5 or better yet buy a Quick Time housing to fit.
