Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Is this 'pad knockback' something you have experienced with your rear disc brakes? Did you purchase a set of these D52 brackets from me?
The D52 calipers are not solidly bolted to the caliper bracket. They do slide on the 'bolts' that connect them to the caliper bracket. Yes the axles in a semi floating differential do have some lateral movement. In a differential that is in good condition, that movement should be minimal. I have not had one complaint regarding 'pad knockback' from any of my 100+ customers that have bought any of my rear disc brackets. Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
My bad, I saw the first brake pic and it looks like the willwoods have front and back pistons which would make it a fixed caliper! Since these are floating I surmise that they'd work well without the c-clip eliminators.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Will the 1985 Cadillac Eldorado calipers fit? They ave e-brake as well.
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
No. Those are the smaller Metric calipers. Only the '76-'79 calipers as stated in this thread.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
You wouldn't happen to have any pics of someone using this kit with a porterbuilt rear 4 link would you? I'm wanting to get a set of brackets but think I'm gonna have issues with the panhard bar bracket interfering with the caliper with my differential being narrowed 8.50 inches
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Sorry but no I do not. No one sends me pictures. All there are, are what you see in this thread.
What about moving the caliper to the front of the differential? Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The inside surface of the caliper bracket will be 1-5/8" inside from the outside of the backing plate flange.
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Ok thanks! Will do some measuring next time I'm out and I'll let you know. I think the brackets will fit but I'm. Pre worried about the calipers. I guess it all depends on how they will be clocked. I looked at the pics in the thread but it's hard to tell.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Got my "CaptainFab" brackets for my 69' stepside the other day. Machine work was excellent. I did not have any issues with fitment, everything lined up and went together perfect. Only issue I had was the pads were a little thick for the new rotors, I sanded the pads a little and caliper dropped in place then. Here is a couple of picks.....I put a coat of "POR" on the brackets....

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Photobucket!!!!! Don't know what happened. anyway kit was great, Good Job Captain. Also, about the same time we had a 1963 c/10 at my repair shop for boost/mc add-on. We needed the bracket that mounts this set-up to the firewall. "CaptainFab" to the rescue once again. Bracket showed up couple days later and worked perfect......Casey

Captainfab: I've got the d52 kit on my 72 c10. My issue is the outer brake pads are dragging the circumference of the rotor on the horizontal surface (hub?? Between the rotor face and the wheel.). Is there a certain set of brake pads you reccomend? Or did I install something wrong?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
How long ago did you purchase the D52 brackets? That issue arose quite some time ago, but I made a change to the caliper bracket to correct that.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I will confirm the date of the latest revision tomorrow, but I believe your brackets were before that. The interference issue is due to manufacturing tolerance differences in the aftermarket replacement rotors. Did you purchase the brackets in bare steel or satin black powder coat?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I do not know of any specific rotors that are any different than others and no customers have let me know of any.
My latest revision of the caliper brackets was in October of 2014. So you do not have the revised brackets. If you will send me your shipping info, I will send you a set of the newest caliper brackets. Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
OK. Hopefully those pads will stay in place up off of the rotor hat. If not let me know.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Payment sent for a set sir.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I have made a fatal mistake on my truck and cannot use your rear brake kit. My truck is a standard with a borg warner R10 overdrive which means my truck freewheels even with the truck in reverse and off. In other words I HAVE TO HAVE an e brake or my truck roles away in gear. I highly apologize and understand if you take some of the refund out for your troubles and fees. Please let me know if a refund is an issue. Again this is my fault and a public apology!

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
You apparently did not read page 1 of this for sale thread where the e-brake style of calipers are talked about.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Anything in the works for this same setup on a Ford 9"?
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Sorry but no. If you are running stock Ford housing ends, just about everyone runs the Explorer rear disc assembly. If you are running a narrowed 9" with the correct Impala/truck housing ends, I have the correct base brackets that will retain the axle bearings and allow you to be able to run these D52 brackets.
