Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I got the d52 pads. From what I read, anyone using the Cadillac Eldo brake calipers, needs brake pad clips before using the parking brake. I guess it is a safety factor because the clips hold the pad in place and align it where it needs to be.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Any news on the Eldorado parking brake brackets?
Also... My drivers side rotor did not clear the brake pad and is touching the rotor. Any idea how to fix it? I thought about just letting of score itself down...

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The cable brackets have been on a laser cutting order along with some parts for my regular business parts. But that order got bumped a couple times for an urgent order. Unless something comes up again, I should have those pieces on Monday.
There have been 2 other customers with the rubbing pads issue, but neither has provided me with the measurements I asked for to determine what the issue may be. That is strangw that you are having that issue on just one side. Do you have a way to either grind or sand the metal part of the pad to gain some clearance?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Just go to someplace like brakeperformance.com and get the same rotor you're looking for but with the added slots, or holes, etc.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Any place that sells drilled and slotted rotors will have them for the Astro/Safari vans.
Take a look here.....several to choose from http://www.summitracing.com/search/p...stro/year/1995 Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
You will need these brackets, any D52 caliper or the Eldorado calipers, the Astro rotord, some hoses, a disc/disc master cylinder, and a proportioning valve either for disc/disc, or an adjustable valve. There is a parts list that comes with the brackets for all the parts to install the brackets on your differential.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
sorry i cant go through 11+ pages of this thread.
Do you have a set for 8 lug? Do you have a kit including the wilwoods and rotors? or a complete kits with everything? Or at least a list of part numbers in one place? If I put wilwoods on that means I cant ever have an ebrake? I have to use a special ebrake caliper? |

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Sorry but no, I do not make any rear disc brackets for 8 lugs. There are several others that make them. Here are two of the best.

Sorry but no I do not have an update. I just have not had time with as busy as I am with my regular work. I worked 99 hrs in 6 days from last Thursday to Wednesday. Now I'm back to my normal 70-80 hrs a week.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Does anyone have any ideas on how or where to hook the parking brake spring? My truck is 99.9% finished. The only thing I need to do is hook up the parking brake so I can get my truck inspected. Any help would be greatly appreciated even if Redneck engineering is involved. I only need the parking brake to work once for inspection and I need to get it inspected this week. Thanks!

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Are you talking about the return spring on the caliper, or something different? Early in this thread there is a picture of an Eldorado caliper with the spring on it.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Thanks Capt. I got the spring routing figured out but I'm now struggling with the E- Brake cable. I just can't figure out how to mount the cable. Do u have pictures of the cable brackets yet? I just need a quick fix to pass inspection until you have time to make the real levers and brackets. Also will the original e-brake cable work or are we going to need an extension? Thanks!
