No you can not use the smaller Metric '79-'85 calipers in place of the '76-'78 Eldorado calipers. They are physically a smaller size.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Any idea where I can find the e brake arms for the 76-78 style?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I make the arms and cable brackets and sell them in a kit with the springs and mounting hardware. They are $60.00 plus $7.15 for shipping. I believe they are shown somewhere in this thread. Look on pages 15 & 19.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Anyone know of any good deals right now for some d52 calipers and rotors?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Have you checked your local auto parts suppliers?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I am officially notifying everyone that I will be on vacation from 02-05-18 thru 02-13-18. I will do my best to get all orders built and shipped before I leave, if placed by 01-31-18. Orders placed while I am gone will be built and shipped in order of receipt of payment once I return. Thanks for understanding.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I scanned the thread and saw some discussion but didn’t see an answer. Do you make a bracket for d52 wilwoods for a 6 lug axle? I’d like to go disc on rear of my k5, and want a matching set of calipers front and rear

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

No I do not. I have not found a 6 lug rotor that will accommodate the D52 caliper and pads.

Here are the 6 lug rear disc brackets that I do offer.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Holy Wow! I got my brackets a few days ago, Amazing work Cap! Talk about BEEFY! Sorry for the delayed response but I have been busy with work. I’m gonna get these put on tomorrow and I’ll get some pics posted up when I can. Again, thank you and keep up the good work.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Good morning all, so I have the D-52 brackets going on my 85 this mor and this may sound like a stupid question but is there a specific orientation for them? I put the driver side on for the caliper to the rear of the axle with no problem, then move to the passenger side but the alignment doesn’t work that way. The thicker intermediate bracket only lines up with the outer “c” bracket if it’s mounted forward of the axle. I assumed they both went to the rear. Am I wrong? I’ve tried adjusting the “c” bracket but that doesn’t help. I have pics but not sure if they will load. Thanks.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I found the problem. The intermediate bracket, the thickest one, is 4-1/2 inches wide on one side which allows for play against the back of the axle flange and 4-3/8 inches wide on the other which doesn’t allow for any play. Both brackets are this way. It’s as if the lazer cutter (or whatever was used) was not completely vertical while cutting them. I’ll take the one side to the shop and grind it down evenly and hopefully that works. It should. Just thought I’d give you a heads up Cap.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I also had to grind the inside of the intermediate bracket where it meets the axle flange, in order to get it to fit flush. aligning all the brackets was somewhat tricky. I chalked it up to small discrepancies in my particular axle. Also, had to grind down the “lip” of the outer pad, as it was grinding on the rotor hat.

*Pictures are turned funny, calipers are clocked in the correct position*

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Yep, went to the shop and used a micrometer to check it and after about half an hour of grinding, I got it to match the other side and boom! I have to order my calipers and pads tomorrow but hopefully they won’t give me any hassle with fitment. We shall see. I’m just glad in a way that I wasn’t the only one with this issue....I thought I was going crazy. Lol

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I appreciate the feedback. That's the only wayI know if something isn't fitting correctly. I will check into the dimensional issue with the spacers. Yes they are cut with a 400 amp high def plasma on a Kinetic table. That is why they have a little taper to the cut.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Interested in a set of these brackets. Any changes necessary referencing the above?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I have started checking the cut taper on the spacers and correcting if needed.
