Re: disc brake swap

still rocking this setup, i had to finally replace the rear pads last week other then that everything is working great, although i am having a problem with the rear ABS not working anymore so it just locks up the rear tires. i don't really know how to deal with that. any ideas?

96-97 Impalla Rotors #YH145033 "$52.00 each" @ Advance auto
79 Chevette Front Brake hoses #H86572 "$15.00 each" @ Advance auto
90 Chevrolet S-10 Calipers #184071/184072"$10.00 each" Pads #d154CT "$57.00"(Ceramics) @ Advance Auto
2 quarts of rear end dope + locker additive "12.00"
Differential gasket #RDS550281 "$4.00"

Along with having to Redrill the impalla rotor lug holes to 9/16 i had to file down a parts of the s-10 caliper to allow for the chevette lines to be used, i used a hand grinder and file other then that no modification was needed to make everything fit, i did have to cut off about 6 inches of the hard rear brake line to move it bck to make room for the chevette lines i did my best to photo the mod needed to the caliper. i test drove it and it seems fine checked everything for leaks, still a bit spongy so i gotta rebleed them when i get a spare set of pedel pushers. got any questions ask, and GL with your swapping
