10 bolt flange question
So I pulled apart my 10 bolt drum brakes, all the way down to the flange and I am wondering if there are any options for converting this rear end to discs, or should I just hunt for something else, either from the junkyard or aftermarket.

Re: 10 bolt flange question
You don't need fact brackets to convert it.
The 98-02 ls1 year brakes fit right on. Drill out the 2 small holes to match the backing plate, cut the top part off and drill the other two holes. Then bolt them on.

Re: 10 bolt flange question
Thanks. Found the YouTube video above where someone does just that, so that's the plan, except I might just go with Wilwoods.
