Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Can I get a set of brackets powdercoated in black? I'm also interested in a set of levers, brackets, and springs for the '76-'78 Eldorado rear calipers if you're still making those.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The powder coating will take up to a week to have done.
Yes I still make the levers, cable brackets and springs for the Eldorado calipers. I'll send you a PM.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I just want to clarify on a few things before I dive into this rear disc brake conversion.
1st- I want to make sure that on the Eldorado calipers, the nub needs to be ground off, referring to the one in the picture with the arrow. 2nd- I noticed that the lever that bolts to the caliper is not a perfect fit on the hex part that locates the lever on the caliper, but I'm assuming that if I tighten the nut enough it will hold the lever tight? 3rd- Any recommendations on a quality caliper paint? Thanks, Zach

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
No, do not cut that 'nub' stop off. Some calipers have two of those close to each other. You can see on your caliper where that would be just to the left in the picture.
So the hex in the lever is a little bigger than the hex on the shaft in the caliper? The ones I checked, the lever was a fairly tight fit. if it is a little loose, just rotate it in the direction of travel and tighten the nut. It should be fine. Eastwood sells some pretty good caliper paint.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I have read the entire thread and have seen the later Eldorado 79-85 mentioned a few times, but I did not see anything that mentioned if they work with captains bracket. Did I miss it? The reason I ask is because I have found a set of the D154 calipers with ebrake, brake lines, ebrake lines and hardware, drilled 5 lug rotors and basically everything else I need for 399. Seems like a decent price.
I would really prefer to use the Wilwood D52's as I will be using them up front, but I need a parking brake. |

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The '79-'85 calipers will not work. They are much different from the D52 calipers. If you need an e-brake caliper you can use the '76-'78 Eldorado, Toronado and Riviera calipers as shown in the pic above. Those are interchangeable with the D52 calipers.
A rear disc bracket set that uses the Metric style D154 caliper will be coming. I just do not know just when as there are several other projects ahead of that. Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
With a 12 bolt you can use any of the three 5 x 5 rear disc brackets that I make including the D52's. Would you like them in bare steel or satin black powder coat?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Hey captain, have you had any feedback from guys using the 76-78 eldo calipers as far as what to do about e-brake cables? I have found very little info on completed conversions detailing what was used for e-brake cables. I thought I remembered reading about some guys cutting and re-crimping the existing cables but I can't find that info now. Thanks

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I have not had any feedback from anyone on what e-brake cables they are using.
I have purchased a set of these cables, but the ones specified for the '67-'72 and sent them to a customer in the UK. I have not heard back on their fitment. http://www.ebay.com/itm/380213787534...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I can get you the length of those tomorrow, if that would help.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Sorry for the delay.
The overall length of the cable itself is 43-5/8". The length of the housing where the clips go is 33-1/2" Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I got mine mocked up last night with the eldorado calipers. My question is does this look correct? The lever seems to be very close to the bracket because of that nub that limits how far back it can go.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Zach, is that the same caliper you posted a pic of in post #455 above? If so, my apologies. That nub will need to be cut off or ground down to clear the lever. I guess I wasn't looking at that previous pic correctly.
