Blackbird disc parts help !?
I bought a disc brake kit for my 72 k20 from black bird a few years ago. All I can remember is that it uses elderado calipers ( with e-brake). Well a caliper went bad and I having a hard time finding a replacement. I ordered one and it was not even close and black bird is no longer around to ask.
Hopeing that someone here can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance ! Posted via Mobile Device |

The other option is to use calipers from the front of the 72, the only problem with this is no more E Brake.
Elderado caliper e Brakes are known to fail a lot because they need to be activated every day from what i have read.

Re: Blackbird disc parts help !?
Well I got the suggested caliper but it is different. Looks very similar but the caliper I have had a wider mounting bolt distance. Any other suggestions?
At this point I wish I kept the drums. Anyone know where I can get complete drum kit, backing played and all? Pretty sure I dumped the backing plates when I did the swap. Wish I held onto them. It's a 8 lug eaton for what it worth. |

I believe they used '76 eldorado calipers. I don't know the part numbers off hand but you can Google them. Also I think the left and right have different numbers.
