Paul,

The front brake rotors are the standard dia.  drilled and slotted. I upgraded to Wilwood two piston calipers. For the rear I used the Inline Tube disc brake kit. The kit was easy to install. As to the performance you'll have to wait awhile as the body is still on the rotisserie.

Looks too short to me.

Thanks Paul,

The Monte had one (valve) at the rear of the frame one the driver side. The car had front disc brakes from the factory. I didn't think that it would be needed.

Thanks again,

Hi, All

I'm doing a 4 wheel disc brake conversion on my 70 Monte Carlo and have a  question.

 

Do I need to use a front and rear hold-off valves? 

I know that I need a proportioning valve,. Right now I'm just running the brake lines on the chassis as the body is off of the frame.

Is there anything else I'm missing?

Hi guys and gals,

  I am building a transmission cross member after installing a Hellwig frame FX kit. I have the engine and trans sitting in place with a 3  degree down angle. What I need to know is if I need to off set right or left or do I center the trans. As it sits right now there is a 1/2" offset. What do I need to do?

Thanks,

Thanks Paul,

I have this drawing ,But was looking for something with ALL the dimensions for the body mount holes. Some of the holes are quite a bit oversize to get good dimensions.

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find the frame dimensions for a 70 monte? I am installing a Hellwig frame FX kit.  Some of the holes for the body mounts are rusted out and need repaired. I had some washers cut out on a water jet at work. The holes are so far gone that I can't get a good location.

Great idea. Would you be willing to share the dimensions?
