Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

None of my rear disc conversion brackets will work with c-clip eliminators. The base brackets need to bolt to the backing plate flange on the same side as the c-clip eliminators do

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Any chance these could work with a 79-85 Seville/Toronado/Rivera rear caliper? I have a manual transmission truck and a parking brake is a must.

I’m hesitant to buy the kit because the 76-78 El Dorado calipers are few and far in between, given their limited original application. I’ve called a few parts stores and they simply cannot get them at this time.

The 79-85 are much more readily available.

Also, the 79-85 Seville calipers come with all the brackets for the brake cable, the 76-78 calipers do not.

Is anyone who converted to rear disc successfully using the 76-78 Cadillac calipers with parking brake cables?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

I guess I should add that the 79-85 Seville calipers are equally hard to come by at your local auto parts store, but classic performance parts make brand new reproduction 79-85 Seville calipers; currently on eBay for $120 for a pair.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

No the '79-'85 calipers will not work. Those are a completely different caliper. I do make the lever, cable brackets and sporing kit for the '76-'78 Eldorado calipers. Or you can just buy new calipers here.

https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com...m_medium=email

Unfortunately they are currently out of stock. You might call or email and ask when they will be receiving more.

There are a few of the reman calipers on ebay.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Captainfab, I was curious if you have any feedback on using this kit on a 68 that was originally a 6 lug, but has been converted to 5 lug using conversion axles?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

No I do not. I seldom receive any feedback unless there is a problem and then not always in that case either. There should not be a problem using these rear disc brackets with 5 lug conversion axles. The 5 lug conversion axles should be the exact same length as the original axles.

Thanks, I will be ordering my axles first and that was my only concern if the conversion axles were a bit longer. I will be able to confirm that on my end but from what I am reading and what you are saying is that the axles are the same length. Appreciate the info.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Captainfab, below are my measurements with my new axles. Can you get a few measurements from your setup for me once you get some free time. Thanks.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Sorry but those measurements do not tell me anything about fitment of any of my rear disc brackets. If you are unsure of the axles that you purchased, I would need to know the brake offset. That is the distance from the outside of the backing plate flange to the outside of the axle flange (WMS). It should be about 2-7/16"

Captain, let me know if this is not the measurement you need.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

That is the brake offset and 2-7/16" is correct for a truck 12 bolt.

Sounds like something I would do, I assumed my PayPal address would carry over. I will send a PM.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Has anybody here used the 76-78 Cadillac Eldorado rear calipers on their truck with the emergency brake cables? If you did then what cables did you use?

Are there any aftermarket D52 style calipers with E brake that would fit the D52 style conversion brackets?

If not then I will just buy some 76-78 Cadillac rear calipers from Autozone, but I dont think they come with any brackets or springs.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Check with Ruff Stuff Specialties for new calipers with the e-brake. If you do get a pair from your local auto parts store, I do also make the levers and brackets and sell them with the springs. There are no other calipers with an e-brake that will interchange with the D52 calipers. That is why the '76-'78 Eldorado calipers are the only other calipers on the parts list.

The price on these is $237.00 plus a flat rate shipping of $15.05 anywhere in the USA. These brackets are also available powder coated in satin black for an additional $28.00 This pricing is always current and up to date. If you are outside of the USA contact me for a shipping price. What is included for this price is shown in the first pic, which includes the 3 piece assembly for both sides, plus all the necessary grade 8 hardware for mounting to your differential.

For payment I accept PayPal and money orders. If you would like a set, post in this thread. [/QUOTE]


I know this is from 10 years ago but I’m getting ready to go disc rear on my 12 bolt and came across this post. Do you still make these and sale them?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

I keep post #1 of all of my for sale threads updated just as it says, 10 years old or not. I fabricate all of my products everyday. This is one way I attempt to make a living. I am currently about a week out on building and shipping orders.
