Okay, you've got the front brakes under control. What about the rears? Want to put some disks back there? Want to get the parts off a 79-83 280ZX? You're in luck!

Thanks to Tom Higgins
I am installing the ZX rear disks on my '71 240. I got the required
bracket for mounting the caliper (i.e. replaces the drum brake backing
plate) from Z-Quip Race Products in Newnan, GA. The phone number for them
that I was able to find with only a little looking is (404)253-4356. (I
did have some trouble reaching them, because Eric (?) has moved. I will
check on Monday to see if I have a different number in my office at work.)
This conversion is also covered in the first issue of Z-Car Magazine.

I think the steel brackets from Z-Quip are probable fine for my current use
and the price was OK. I do think that I may design my own aluminum
brackets later, but that will wait until I finish some of my other
upgrades. (Aluminum brackets only to go with Brembo or Willwood aluminum
calipers to reduce unsprung weight, if I go that far.)

Did I screw something up? Forget to credit your part in this saga?

Tell me!
