Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
How do these calipers adjust the parking brake for pad wear?
|
Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I just assumed they had some sort of internal ratcheting mechanism. Did you use new/rebuilt calipers or used?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
They are rebuilt. The design does not have a ratchet. The Camero did though, have a ratchet built into the handle. But I'm unsure if this was to adjust the parking brake or simply keep the cables tight.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Has anyone successfully tested this on a running truck? How's the P brake hold?

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Do you make a kit to utilize a 98-02 camaro ls1 brake it? I have a 6 lug 64

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
No I do not. I just have the two 6 lug rear disc brackets.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but what is everybody using these rear brakes using for a proportioning valve? I would really like to avoid using an adjustable one if at all possible.
|
Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I do not know if there are any differences in the brake bias with the aftermarket fixed disc/disc proportioning valves.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I had interference with the e-brake lever arm on the caliper and the bottom of the back of the trailing arm. SO I installed these facing forward. But now I am putting airbags in the rear and the e-brake cable will interfere with the bag.
The main problem is the big rubber bushing that's on the e-brake lever arm. I don't know what that is for - harmonic dampening? Any suggestions? |
Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
I believe the 'rubber bushing' you are referring to can be removed. Do you have any pics of your installation. I just can nit picture how the e-brake lever could make contact with the trailing arm. I have been looking at the pics in post #184 and post #220.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
Sorry but I still don't have anything for the '88-'98 10 bolts, I'm still working 80 hrs a week every week. There are actually 2 versions of the 8.5" 10 bolts in the '88-'98 trucks which have different backing plate flanges both of which are different from the '87 and earlier 10 bolts. I assume one is a standard duty and the other is a heavy duty. Additionally the '88-'98's have a wider brake offset. I am still hoping to get to these one day.

Re: Camaro Caliper Brackets
After reading through this entire thread it's not clear -- has anyone found calipers that include the bracket and e-brake setup? Rock Auto has excellent deals but not all of their products have pics, so it's hard to say whether this stuff is included.
