CPP Big brakes on 71 Cutlass

[Dutch455]

Hi guys,

i can get my hands on a set of front and rear Big brakes from CPP, they are mounted on a 71 Chevelle at the moment, will they
fit on my 71 Cutlass? A-body is A-body in my opinion but does anyone around here got any experience with the set? Its 13 inch front and 12 inch rear...


Thanks in advance!

Most of it will except for the important parts. If you have the same spindle up front (ie drum vs disk) the front will probably work. Pretty sure the rear bracket wont swap from a Chevy rear to a BOP rear. You can probably buy those separately.

A-body may be A-body, however there were several variations on the rear axles depending on the year/make/model as noted above. The BOP 10/12-bolts have the same small inverted trapezoidal flange pattern as the Chevy c-clip housings, but use positively retained axles. AFAIK, all of the pre-70 BOP 10/12-bolt housings used the 2.75" OD, lubed-for-life, axle bearing with an internal oil seal (RW507CR). The other axle bearing found on most '70 and up BOP applications uses a SET9 tapered roller bearing with 2.56" OD and external oil seal since it's lubed by the diff oil.

I would suggest that you contact CPP to verify cost and availability one way or the other.
