What are these brake parts?

[SpeedingFirebird]

So I picked up a set of rear disc calipers with all of the needed hardware. there are two L shaped parts that I suspect are used to route the e-brake cable. What I cannot figure out is where they bolt to the axle. Here is a really bad picture. The parts are circled.



Thanks!

Those brackets bolt on the back side of the axle, above the LCA mount and underneath the spring perch. It is where the caliper hose attaches to the brake line.

Wow, 8+ hour drive to NED, that's a bit too far for me.

I do plan on attending the East Coast Nats at Island in August.

yeah, OK. I guess that's a haul. keep me posted about the event at island.

Hey, question for you. This is the first time racing the bird, and I am worried I won't make it to the track in time for a Test & Tune run. If that happens, any idea of a time I should dial in? I don't think I'll have my 3.73's/posi bolt in yet (as you can see from the OP, I am still putting the axle together).

I am thinking I'll run somewhere in the mid-15s.

Hmm, dial-in that's a tough one. Your car should definitely be capable of 14's but being that you've not raced it yet and still running the stock open rear traction is going to be a problem. 15.5 should be a good starting point, if you feel like you get a good launch, see yourself approaching 90+ mph and don't want to break out, you could let off.

wishful thinking! I'd love to see 14's, but I think I have a lot more work to do. I think a tune would help a lot.

cool. that's about what I was thinking. I would hate to let off b/c I really want to see what she can do, but if it means living for another run, that's what I'll have to do. thanks man!
