Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Greetings Captain,
Is there any problem with redrilling the disc to retain the 6 bolt pattern? I want to keep my truck pattern on my '70. Thanks,

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I just ran across an article that said that the rear disc for a 14 bolt diff has the ebrake and the same fit as the Eldorado. Do you know anything about this?
Thanks'

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Redrilling a 5 hole rotor to a 6 hole rotor may be a little tricky. One of the holes for the 6 x 5.5" hole pattern overlaps one of the 5 x5 holes. So at least that one hole will need to be filled.
Just bare with me a few days and I should have something for you later this week on a 6 hole rear disc conversion. I've not heard this about the rear calipers for the later model 14 bolts. I'll check into that. Do you have a link to this article? Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Rule #1----Don't believe everything you read on the internet!
I checked into the story about the Eldorado caliper on the 14 bolt axle. It seems he needed a caliper on the front of his truck and tried it and it fit(apparently an older truck) and there you go....... He published it on the internet, I guess because Eldorado rear calipers are so easy to find when you need a caliper for your truck. Sorry for the goose,
