On late front ends....mid 72 and up the mounting ears on the caliper need to be machined. Pelican has a tech article if i recall.

Then ya bolt them on, bleed and go....most recommend losing the Proportioning valve in the engine bay and replace with a VW squareback tee/splitter for the rear brakes.

Once machined and ready to mount...same as a brake job. Gud idea to flush that nasty 1970s brake fluid out as well....

what year and model brakes should i be buying?
