Wow... what a under taking.  I didn’t know this was going to be as difficult as I thought.  First off... I’m not sure what these brakes came from... so don’t ask.  :D   I bought a parts car that had these brakes and trailing arms on already... I’m simply swapping them over.  Trouble is the swap wasn’t simple.  It was a pain in the ass!  A Royal pain in the ass!!!
 
Just by looking at the brakes they look like the front brakes off a Alfa Romeo GTV or Spider.  They’re twin piston calipers.
 
The removal of the old drum brakes, including the old trailing arms was a nightmare.  Read my other post about that process.  JEEEEZZZUUUUUZZZ!  It took forever!
 
Now that it’s all bolted up I need to find out if I’m going to need a proportioning valve or not.  I also need to see if my brake master will be up to the task of pushing more fluid.  Aaaaand... I now have no cable actuated e-brake.  Do I go hydraulic or go without?
