L body rear disk brake conversion pics

[Juggy]

i know there is alot of info and pics of the L body rear disk brake setup, but I think one think that is over looked or rarely mentioned is finding a way to use the mounting bracket that connects the hard line on the axle, to the caliper flex line.

so id just like to show you a very easy and clean, clever install to make this happen. I know of 2 different style brackets for this. I chose to use the straight one that i believe came from an 89-90 rear disk car. I ended up chopping most of the bracket off, and drilling and taping a hole into the bracket, and obviously drilling a clearance hole in the rear axle. I really should put the bolt in the other way and add a nylon nut to ensure that it does not go anywhere, but you get the idea

Just to ensure that thing is setup correctly maybe we should put it in my car and test it..

nice, i like the sway bar!!! i ended up goin with a polybushing rear.

i would have welded mine into place as well, but the axle was already powdercoated from the previous owner and i didnt really feel like messing it up, and the tip on my mig welder is shot and i havent had time to get a new one yet...lol.....

I wish mine was powdercoated but were unsure if were done Welding on it. It might be two stiff there's more than just that bar there. There's more pics in my build thread along with all that's done to the front also

I think it's either 1 1/4 or 1 3/4 it's been awhile but it's .065 wall. I like this piece better than that rear bar
