Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Do they work on the '76-'78 calipers or just on the '79-'85 calipers?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
You don't have to remove the axles to install these brackets, but you will have to, to remove the backing plates. Unless you cut them apart to get them past the axles. It really isn't difficult to remove the axles. When was the last time you changed the rear end oil? If it's been a while, it might be a good idea to pop the rear cover, R&R the axles, re-install the cover with a new gasket, and fill with your choice of gear oil......just sayin
![]() Yes the price is still $232.00 plus $10.00 for shipping. The powder coating is still the same $28.00. You can use any D52 type caliper with this kit. Wilwood makes 2 different sizes of the dual piston D52 calipers. For the rear you will want the ones with the smaller pistons.....1.250" I believe.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Yes, 15" wheels will work with this conversion, as long as they are disc brake compatable wheels.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Have you considered adding tabs to the mounting plate to allow for the standalone wilwood mechanical parking break calipers? I'd love to run this setup and match my front Wilwoods, but need to be able to pass inspection with an eBrake....

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Yes I had thought of that some time ago. I just haven't done anything with the idea since it will add some cost to the conversion and I'm not sure if that would put it out of price range for more people.
I'm not saying I'm not going to persue it, it just may take a little time to get it to a final design. I checked with Summit, and these are on back order until the 23rd at the eaeliest.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Yeah, I figured I would have to have some thicker spacers machined to make them work with the 1.250" thick rotors.
Those new Wilwood calipers, have a different type of mounting....they aren't cheap either! I wonder if a guy could add a spacer to those, and use them on the 1.250" rotors? Looks like they are a 2 piece design.....

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Ordinarily your order would have shipped today, but I am currently extremely busy. Your order will ship tomorrow, and you should receive it by Friday.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Are the GM D52 calipers used on the front of the 88-98 trucks?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
No, those are the D369 calipers. The last year for the D52's on the trucks was '87, or '91 for the V and R series

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Thanks for that information. I'd love to install Wilwood two piston calipers on my truck. I guess that can't happen...

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
If you are talking about the '89 K1500 in your sig, I do have a 6 lug rear disc conversion that uses the D369 calipers.
http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=494411 But that does not get you the Wilwood dual piston calipers

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Has anyone had an issue with the outside pad rubbing on the hat of the rotor with this conversion?
