Any advice on 71 Camaro disc brake conversion

[Gasman303]

I'm running 275-35-20 in the rear of my Camaro, I want to convert the rear drum brakes to disc. I like the cpp big brake kit but they make only 1 st gen Camaro setup. My car has the 8.5 10 bolt rear end. I'm also looking into wilwood or Kore3 kit. I'm looking for appearance a than performance, because of the space I need to fill running the big 20's out back. Any suggestion would be appreciated

Take a look at the 5th gen Camaro SS / CTS-V rear brakes. They are huge and very affordable. If you are going for looks, these will be hard to beat for the money. 14.5" rotors and 4 piston Brembos. You will need to make an adapter bracket for the differential. I can help with that if you go with those. These are in 19's. Are you planning to run an e-brake?

Running an e-brake does complicate things. The setup pictured does have an e-brake though. The only thing that needs to be figured out is the e-brake cable attachment and routing.

I have toyed around with selling this bracket, but the bracket would need to be slightly redesigned for the shorter axle offset of the 10 bolt vs my dana 44.

The redesign would probably be a two piece design to lower the cost. The inner piece would be steel and the outer aluminum.

That's trick!! I'm dreading to tackle the ebrake set up

There are several brake kits for your application that come with e-brakes. They are a pretty straight forward install and work well. I personally wouldn't do a street car w/o an emergency brake.
