Re: 68 project
 

Are those willwood D52 calipers and pads. If so how is the inboard brake pad held in place? The reason im asking is because I ordered a set of D52 calipers. People have said they didn't like how pad fit.

Re: 68 project
 

Yes that is correct, I am not sure yet but I will let you know for sure. I like the quality of the caliper for sure though

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks that would be helpful. Your project is coming along nicely.

Re: 68 project
 

I've been curious about those same calipers too.

Re: 68 project
 

I will probably get them bolted on either this evening or tomorrow and will post some pics and feedback on the installation. I am going to order the line kit also for the D52 brake calipers.

Re: 68 project
 

They float between the caliper and the disc. They just ride on the caliper bolt. here's a quick article (PDF) that wilwood put together for the D52 install.

I have them on my 71 and don't have any complaints about the fit. Just the brake dust. The pad material puts off a lot of dust.

Re: 68 project
 

That's what I was thinking but didn't want to put foot in mouth before I actually knew :lol: Thanks for the link I will check it out :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Look what I got today, ;)

Re: 68 project
 

Running them through the molder to size them

Re: 68 project
 

I don't blame you. I've been running mine for about a year now and couldn't remember for sure. I had to find something with some pics to be sure it didn't have a clip or something. :lol:

I take it the wood is for your bed? What kind of wood is it?

Re: 68 project
 

Yes it is, black walnut.

Re: 68 project
 

Hmmm, I think I really like the walnut. :mm:

Re: 68 project
