There doesn't seem to be a provision for a parking brake. That's ok on a race car. Not so good on a daily driver. On their web site they have an add on parking brake ffor $180 a side. Kind of throws the price out the window. I like the multi bolt pattern idea. I'm not stuck if I decide go 4.5" in teh future.

Mike,

Look at www.tsmmfg.com. I have theirs on my '64 and they work great.

I may be homebrewing my next rear disc set though...

Lou

Nice! :D

Driveline brakes are used on heavy equipment, forklifts, medium duty trucks and school buses all the time. They work very well!

I have that setup on my workbench, but haven't installed it yet. Hey, it's only been a year since I bought it!

Lou,

Do you have the Driveshaft brake? What do you think of the setup?

Lou, you sneaky mofo! you never told me your 64 was disk on all the corners! meanwhile i torture myself with 11" single pos on the front and 10X2.5's out back...
Actually, all kidding aside, i'm old school and i wouldn't have it any other way! nuthin' like goin' into a corner buck-sideways at 80~85mph!

Speaking of homebrew disk kits... GM Outlaw calipers for 90bux, caliper brackets for 20, some stainless drop lines and a metering block, then grab those nifty multi-pattern wilwood rear rotors. Hmmm... you think that i can put it together for under three hundy? Methinks the pads are gonna be a little spendy.
*laughs*

hey, lest you judge i'm just as sick and twisted as the rest of you!
