205 ebrake - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im making a brake for my transfercase, because cadillac stuff cost tooo much. so i have a few questions. I kept looking at jesse's (highangle) and jp but im poor. it took about five minutes to find those calipers for sale on the net. I was concerned about them holding on a steep incline. I went to the upull it and found 17 diffrent models of cars that had rear disc and ebrakes. I made a list but forgot it at home. I think I have about decided on the maxima, because its small and compact. I plan on taking out the rear yolk and modifying the rotor to bolt up with lunger ujoint straps. and then fabbing the bracket. as long as its balanced i dont see a prob.

1. do brake calipers rely on brake fluid for lubrication. specifically if i plug the line will it still work or just dry up and cease? iirc grease messes up calipers for some reason so i cant just grease em.

2. What is the largest size rotor I can run wothout having a body lift? I figure 6" the xfer is out right now and i didnt want to rehang it for this measurement.

3. Can someone with a dial caliper measure the mounting holes for the ujoint straps. I just eyeballed it but before I go massacare a new rotor I wann make sure its right.

Im gonna try to get this done before I shipout again next month so we'll see. Ill put pics up once im out of the drawing up stage.

thanks

You should try posting this question on CK5.com. There are several guys with t-case e-brakes over there. You might also consider Pirate4x4.com.

I'm surpised. I think that 1FINHIK5 put an e-brake on his 205. But he sold the Blazer a while back. You may try doing a search on CK5.

ive looked at his. ive been researching for about 2 weeks now. mainly i was looking to see if anyone saw any majorprobs withit. im definatley not an engineer. I havent seen 1fnhik5 around in a while. he welded his up though. id rather bolt it because welding is permanant
