Ok, so my memory sucks.. I guess there have
been a couple threads on this in the past. I'll go back to lurking in
my corner. :-)

Conversion using drum brake spindles. Maybe it's
been done and not posted

in the mags, either.

Hey Dave,
I've done this. There was a thread on Team Chevelle wayyyy wayyy back
about it. Hrrmmm.. I remember 5/8" (.625") being the number I
used. About the same time we used the early 80's Caddy Seville rear disc
calipers for four wheel disc on the Chevelle with a Wilwood prop valve.
The 79-81 TransAm 11" rear rotors work well with that setup and if you
use the Caddy caliper brackets they need to be drilled and rotated some
to fit in the rear. There was a thread on that too. Ah,
there have been some interesting discussions on the list over the years.
Wonder where my buddy Kelly Hanna is these days? B-)
