78-88 Malibu Elcamino Monte Carlo Grand National Regal Cutlass 442 Grand Prix

78-88 G-Body / A-Body Rear Brake Cylinder Braces – Brand new braces, each lot consists of a pair of braces (2) one for each rear brake assembly (L&R).

 

The rear brake cylinders on these vehicles are fastened in place via a round metal retaining clip that snaps in place retaining the brake cylinder to the backing plates.  During hard braking the brake cylinders have a tendency to rotate which may cause the rear brakes to lockup prematurely. 

 

This a simple bolt on modification that keeps the rear brake cylinders fastened tight and from rotating.

 

The first couple pictures are of the actual braces.  The last couple pictures are from a magazine article

detailing the usage & installation of these braces
