Kenny:  I don't understand your question. If you have been able to connect the front brake calipers you should be able to connect the rear ones in the same manner.  Have you contacted Lon Wall at Underground to get more information??  Might be a good idea.  

Also - adding disk brakes to a Corvair may be different than connecting disks to a front engine car.  Perhaps all that is needed are disks in the rear.  Does the kit include a proportioning valve?

  Kenny asked me if anyone had experience with this kit. I do not.

  Frank DuVal

  My name is Kenny and I'm a novice Corvair fan and mechanic.  I inherited 
  a '66 Monza convertible and I am in the process of converting to disk 
  brakes.  Actually, the conversion kit was purchased before I inherited 
  the car and since the original drums are missing, I'm going to go ahead 
  with the conversion.

  Here's the questions I have.  The conversion kit was purchased from 
  Corvair Underground and I'm not sure how to connect the rear calipers to 
  the brake line.  I was wondering if there was anyone in your club that 
  has done this and if they could give me some pointers.

  Feel free to pass this email around.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Kenny
