D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

[Captainfab]

Sorry I have no idea. I have never installed anything like that. You might ask that question in either the '60-'66 forum or the suspension forum.

i have a question.im doing a frame off on a 79 c-10.with bags and lowered and all that stuff.im using a 12 bolt rear.the rims im using are 26".but the bolt pattern is a dual one that is 4 1/2 and 4 5/8.will i have any issues using these brackets after i press out studs on axels and have them redrilled.

If you are needing a wheel stud pattern other than the 5 x 5, the rotors will also need to be redrilled. I've never heard of a 4 5/8" wheel stud circle. Are you certain that you measured the holes correctly?

Can I use the later model eldorado calipers like 79-85 e brake style with this setup? What's the difference in the 76-78 ebrake caliper?

[Captainfab]

No you can not use the smaller Metric '79-'85 calipers in place of the '76-'78 Eldorado calipers. They are physically a smaller size.

[Hidesertchevy]

Any idea where I can find the e brake arms for the 76-78 style?

[Captainfab]

I make the arms and cable brackets and sell them in a kit with the springs and mounting hardware. They are $60.00 plus $7.15 for shipping. I believe they are shown somewhere in this thread. Look on pages 15 & 19.

Anyone know of any good deals right now for some d52 calipers and rotors?

[Captainfab]

Have you checked your local auto parts suppliers?

I am officially notifying everyone that I will be on vacation from 02-05-18 thru 02-13-18. I will do my best to get all orders built and shipped before I leave, if placed by 01-31-18. Orders placed while I am gone will be built and shipped in order of receipt of payment once I return. Thanks for understanding.

I scanned the thread and saw some discussion but didn’t see an answer. Do you make a bracket for d52 wilwoods for a 6 lug axle? I’d like to go disc on rear of my k5, and want a matching set of calipers front and rear

[Captainfab]

No I do not. I have not found a 6 lug rotor that will accommodate the D52 caliper and pads.

Here are the 6 lug rear disc brackets that I do offer.

Holy Wow! I got my brackets a few days ago, Amazing work Cap! Talk about BEEFY! Sorry for the delayed response but I have been busy with work. I’m gonna get these put on tomorrow and I’ll get some pics posted up when I can. Again, thank you and keep up the good work.

[Suprmn78]

Good morning all, so I have the D-52 brackets going on my 85 this mor and this may sound like a stupid question but is there a specific orientation for them? I put the driver side on for the caliper to the rear of the axle with no problem, then move to the passenger side but the alignment doesn’t work that way. The thicker intermediate bracket only lines up with the outer “c” bracket if it’s mounted forward of the axle. I assumed they both went to the rear. Am I wrong? I’ve tried adjusting the “c” bracket but that doesn’t help. I have pics but not sure if they will load. Thanks.

[Suprmn78]

I found the problem. The intermediate bracket, the thickest one, is 4-1/2 inches wide on one side which allows for play against the back of the axle flange and 4-3/8 inches wide on the other which doesn’t allow for any play. Both brackets are this way. It’s as if the lazer cutter (or whatever was used) was not completely vertical while cutting them. I’ll take the one side to the shop and grind it down evenly and hopefully that works. It should. Just thought I’d give you a heads up Cap.

I also had to grind the inside of the intermediate bracket where it meets the axle flange, in order to get it to fit flush. aligning all the brackets was somewhat tricky. I chalked it up to small discrepancies in my particular axle. Also, had to grind down the “lip” of the outer pad, as it was grinding on the rotor hat.

*Pictures are turned funny, calipers are clocked in the correct position*

[Suprmn78]

Yep, went to the shop and used a micrometer to check it and after about half an hour of grinding, I got it to match the other side and boom! I have to order my calipers and pads tomorrow but hopefully they won’t give me any hassle with fitment. We shall see. I’m just glad in a way that I wasn’t the only one with this issue....I thought I was going crazy. Lol
