Does anyone know what vehicles can be a donor for rear disk brakes for an 81 Z with a 10 Bolt. I doubt I will be able to find a TA with disks. I head the Ford exploreres are a possible donor. Does anyone know if this is true and what is required in the mod

 

does anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

it seems that not alot of people like the 81 z because im not getting any responses either and sorry that i cant help you out cause thats another one of my questions too !

 

Cadillac Sevilles have disc brakes that will be a directswap. I believe the late 70's or early 80's are the ones to look for.

 

The 81 is somewhat of a bastard year with the integration of the computer controller. I have been going though my 81 during my restro project and removing all the unnecessary wires and sensors, essentially winding it back to 80 wiring.

After some searching, I came across a rear end on Ebay for a 79 TA with disk brakes, posi, and include the master and brake booster plus the proportioning valve. I got the setup for $300 and another $120 to have it shipped to me from half way across the country.

This should be a direct bolt in for on $420. I will probably put another $150 into it to freshen it up like rebuilding the calipers, turning the rotors and new seals and bearings and a nice paintjob.

Not a bad deal for $570 all said and done, and I willhave a 4 wheel disk Z28
