Tom,

Both Leigh Harrison's and TSM's conversions use commonly available
parts. I'm just finishing up my own TSM conversion and I'll post a full
report when I've had the chance to drive it.

Thomas:

Using the disc brake backing plates from a 76-78 El Dorado forms the basis
for another disc brake option.

Has anyone came up with a GM disk brake setup from another GM vehicle that
can be installed on the rear bogies easily?

Tom,

Both Leigh Harrison's and TSM's conversions use commonly available parts.
I'm just finishing up my own TSM conversion and I'll post a full report when
I've had the chance to drive it.

Aren't they that same as the 76-78 toronado?

No they are not the same, but have a different part number. They are for
the rear wheels only.
