Rear Disk Conversion Parts Question ????

[72longbed]

Has anybody ever 'sourced' the Levers and Springs for those 76-78 Caddy Eldorado rear disk brakes with the parking brake built in? I know you can get re-manu. calipers alone, but can we find the levers and springs to go with them?

Thanks.

Thanks.

these folks have the complete calipers, brand new, pricey though.

Other than that, junk yards.

BTW: calipers from a Buick Electra also work. I'm using the buick caliper on the right side, and a caddy one on the left. That leaves both installed above the axle, as they should be.

I'm using one from a 1978 caddy Seville on the left.

Heres a pair ON CLEARANCE from RockAuto, AUTOSPECIALTY / KELSEY-HAYES, for $39.79 NO CORE CHARGE!!

I'm just going to fabricate the spring mounts, if I can't find any.
