I am in the process of 'building' my brake system.  Currently I am using the original

 front disk brakes but I have purchased a Wilwood pro-street rear brake kit.  I've installed

 a Wilwood master cylinder & proportioning valve along with a Hurst line-lock and 

 braided stainless steel line kit.  I have installed the new rear brakes with my own designed and 

fabricated mounting brackets.  The brackets that came with the kit were not designed

 to work with c-clip eliminators.  The cutout in the top of the bracket design to allow installation

 without removing the axles.  Installation of the c-clip eliminators require that the end of the axle

 housing be cut off (the section that extends beyond the flange, and contains the original axle bearing).

The c-clip eliminator assembly must then be sealed to the axle housing  flange to prevent leakage

of rear end oil.  The Wilwood brake mounting flange gets sandwiched between the c-clip

eliminator and the housing flange and thus must be sealed as well.
