Re: rear disc calipers?
Its not seville only, its the big cars with 5x5 pattern & have rear discs
I think mine are from a 76 or something, I dont really remember I havent gotten them on yet, but I dont think the stock E-brake cable will work, you need to adapt from the stock one on the truck to the ones on the disc calipers Maybe someone else has more input Here is a thread with the years & models that had 5x5 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=234769 |

Re: rear disc calipers?
Cadillac Seville '77-'79 model years use 5 x 5" rotors ... I am using this model caliper as well. You will need to do some machine work on the axle flanges as this is not a bolt-on mod.
You will also need to make / fab brackets to mount the caliper as the caddy mounts will not work. |

Re: rear disc calipers?
I was going to ask if the astro rotors fit over the hubs. He probably turned them down if you tried them and they didn't fit. I used 88 4x4 front rotors and had to turn the hubs down. Most guys have them done at a machine shop. I had a bare frame, so I used a BIG drill on the yoke nut and a grinder on the hub.
I wonder if the astro and 4x4 rotors are the same. It looks like they have the bigger lug holes like the 4x4, because GM went to a bigger stud and the stud is pressed into them. Jay |

Re: rear disc calipers?
oh there they are. Thanks for the pics...i just went out and measured the distance from the face of the axle to the edge of the mounting surface for the backing plate, just as i thought , it's to close to the back of the rim...then i measured the bolt holes for it to mount, they aren't even the same spacing..now i have to decide to chop up this backing plate and make it work , or keep searching.....thanks again
