My 87 GT was missing all the ebrake cables so I bought everything needed. After looking at the calipers I saw they have no E brake hardware or bolt holes to mount anything. I’m assuming someone in the past put different calipers on it but I really want to have the e brake. I don’t think the rotors are anything special so was wondering if I can just put new calipers on it that have the ebrake stuff on them.

VA Inspection (PDF) and rules/laws require Ebake/Pbrake.

Likely 1 of 2 problems...
1. Some fool installed Fiero front calipers on rear for a very cheap "fix." Is often bad but not as bad as...
2. Some fool installed GA or whatever fronts on rear for a cheap "fix" or "upgrade" and if true you have more issues that just missing Ebrake parts.

If Rotor is Solid (not vented/hollow) then likely 1. (Use AZ etc to see OE Fiero rotors) Can likely install Fiero rears from AZ etc that have most Ebrake parts on them but likely will eat Core money if/when they look at them. Some places can buy online then take cores to local store may help.

If Rotor is Vented type then likely 2. You need to check fronts etc to find exactly what they did to it. Note: GA and some other "upgrades" have change the MC and look same outside. See my Cave, Brake Upgrade
