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.

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"

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
That is the brake offset and 2-7/16" is correct for a truck 12 bolt.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I would like to buy your rear disc brake D52 bracket kit for my 1968 Chevy C10. It has the factory 12 bolt rear with conversion 5 lug axles.
I would like my bracket kit to be powder coated and will send you the additional money for that which you mentioned in your 1st post on this thread. I will send you a PM also. Thanks!!! |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I replied to your PM :)

Does anybody know if you can get the 1992-2002 Astro Van rotors in cross drilled and slotted or even just cross drilled?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Hey could you change my order to the Camaro caliper adapter kit in black powder coat. It seems the parts for that kit are more readily available over the counter.
If you could also include one of your Power Brake Booster Adapter brackets for 1967-1972 Chevy C10 also in black powder coat? I hope that you can make these changes to my order. I would appreciate it. I also PMd you about the changes. |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The drilled and/or slotted rotors have been discussed ion this thread. Those part numbers are included in the parts list that is included with every bracket set

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Does anybody have a actual part number for drilled and slotted rotors for 1992-2002 Astro/Safari AWD vans?
I checked Rock Auto and they dont show anything like that. It was mentioned here in this thread on page 23 but nobody posted a part number for them. |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Here is one of the sources from the parts list that comes with every bracket set as I stated above.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Awesome and much appreciated.
Please just keep my order as I originally stated with the powder coated D52 rear disc caliper bracket kit for my 1968 Chevy C10 with the 12 bolt rear and conversion axles. Quote:

Payment received. It will be later in the week before I will get to your order. I have several orders ahead of you plus we are getting hammered with snow here. Saturday it took me 4 hours to clear my driveway at home. Then today I spent 3 hours on a backhoe at my shop and more snow is coming.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Just assembled my rear D52 rear disc brake kit on my 1968 Chevy C10 SWB and the brackets seem to fit ok, but when I put on the D52 calipers and pads they fit on very snug and the rotor is very difficult to rotate by hand when installed. The D52 calipers are brand new and so are the pads. The piston is all the way retracted into the bore also.
Anybody else run into this and how did you solve it? |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Are both pads rubbing hard on the rotor or just one side. And is this the same on both sides of the truck?

I doubt the axles would be the problem though because there is no gap between the rotor and brake pads on the left or right side of the truck. |

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
It sounds like the issue is either the rotor thickness or the pad thickness.
I would suggest measuring the thickness of the rotors with a calipers. Another option would be to measure the thickness of a set of D52 pads from a different store and compare them with what you currently have. |

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I had time to mess with it today and I did find out that when I remove the D52 caliper from bracket and I try to slide just the inner pad in between the bracket and the rotor I noticed that it is a tight fit but it will go in by hand.
These are the measurments that I got. Stoptech Rotor R=32.81 and L=32.83 Raybestos Pads 15.28 and 13.80 Duralast MKD52S Pads 14.59 and 13.17 When I put the Duralast pads on it was just a little less drag but not much Also with the Duralast pads the outer pad made contact with the hub on my rotor while the Raybestos pads did not do that. |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Are those measurements in MM? I will have to go and convert them to imperial measurements.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Interested in this, however I am in canada. Curious what it might cost for shipping to edmonton alberta canada? Thanks sir
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Due to the weight of this bracket set, it must ship in 2 boxes when shipping international. The shipping cost to Canada will be $108.00 USD

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.
