Here is a pic showing the dimension I need from those that have had a brake pad to rotor hat interference issue. Once I know what you have I can make the necessary change, and get you a set of brackets to correct the issue.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
You need the 3.5182 distance? I'll see what I can do this eve...
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Yes, that is the measurement I need. Yours may or may not measure 3.5182. Once I know what yours measures, I can have a set made that will solve the pad rubbing issue.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Will these parts work with the D52 brackets? Just checking before I order them.
ROTORS: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/eb...ro?prefilter=1 CALIPERS with ebrake: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aa...model/eldorado I know i will have to get one for the passenger side and one for the driver side but I wanted to make sure I had the right ones. Thanks guys! |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Those look like the right parts......

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Cap'n,
Any news on the e-brake levers for the Eldo calipers? I'm waiting on the availability of those levers. As soon as they are, I'll be placing my order. We need an e-brake in TX to pass inspection. Thanks. |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I don't have them done yet, but I'm trying to find the time to get them finished. I know there are a few of you guys needing them.

I took some time today and made some progress on the Eldorado caliper levers and cable brackets.
I got 2 sets of levers formed up, but they ended up about 3/16" shorter than the originals. But I think they would still work. Regardless, I am going to order some longer ones laser cut next week. I also got the cable brackets drawn up on AutoCad, and will get some of those laser cut as well. |

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Got me some astro van rotors but they are way to thick for my Eldo calipers. Has anyone had this problem?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Do you have the '76-'78 calipers? Which pads do you have?

Yes I have the 76-78 calipers and I got Wearever silver brake pads. MFG NAD 122 Duralast Rotors Bolt Pattern Diameter (mm): 127 Rotor Bore Diameter (mm): 78.5 Rotor Initial Thickness (mm): 32.70 Rotor Outside Diameter (mm): 295 Rotor Overall Depth (mm): 83 Wearever Silver Brake Pads - Rear Friction Material Thickness, Inner Pad: 0.4 in Friction Material Thickness, Outer Pad: 0.43 in Front or Rear Brakes: Rear Fenco Disc Brake Caliper, Rear Right & Left I can not figure it out. I mean the rotors will NOT fit in the calipers with the brake pads installed....? The rotors are like .25 in too big..? |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Did you check to see if the shaft is rotated as to engage the parking brake function of the caliper. If not you might try turning the shaft coming out of the back of the caliper. A box end wrench or a deep socket should work to grab it. I just don't remember what size off hand.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I have a pair of used calipers at the shop. I'll check out the fitment tomorrow and post my findings here. I have not heard of this issue from any of my other customers.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Do you know of any customers that we can contact? Perhaps they can be of some assistance too. What size rotor, caliper inside width, and brake pad width and what brand they went with is all I need.
thanks! |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Would this work on a 69 Suburban C20 rear axle (8 bolt drum)
Thanks |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Right now I can't think which of my custromers that have bought these brackets are using the Eldorado calipers.
I can not get a set of the D122 pads until tomorrow, but I did put a set of the D52 pads in a Eldorado caliper today. With the piston all the way retracted, there is 1.312" (1-5/16") between the pads. The pads I used were each about 9/16" thick. I'll check again tomorrow when I get the D122 pads. Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
No, These only work with the '64-'82 GM truck 12 bolt and '80-'87 truck 8.5 10 bolts.
Does your Suburban have the Eaton HO52 or the Dana 60? Quote:

I got my D122 pads from O'Reilly's this morning. I put a set inside a caliper and the Astro rotor fits with a little room to spare. The D122 pads are noticeable thinner than the D52 pads. I didn't get a chance to try a set of D52 pads with the rotor as I had a bunch of work to do today. I'll try and check the D52 pads tomorrow.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The D122 pads are for the '76-'78 Eldorado. The only difference I can see in them at this point, is that they are a little thinner.

One more question.... Did you put 'clips' on your brake pads? Mine didn't come with any... Just wondering if I needed some. Thanks! Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The D122 pads did not come with any 'clips' and I don't think the D52 pads I have did either. I'd have to look at the D52's again to be sure.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I got the d52 pads. From what I read, anyone using the Cadillac Eldo brake calipers, needs brake pad clips before using the parking brake. I guess it is a safety factor because the clips hold the pad in place and align it where it needs to be.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Any news on the Eldorado parking brake brackets?
Also... My drivers side rotor did not clear the brake pad and is touching the rotor. Any idea how to fix it? I thought about just letting of score itself down... |
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
The cable brackets have been on a laser cutting order along with some parts for my regular business parts. But that order got bumped a couple times for an urgent order. Unless something comes up again, I should have those pieces on Monday.
There have been 2 other customers with the rubbing pads issue, but neither has provided me with the measurements I asked for to determine what the issue may be. That is strangw that you are having that issue on just one side. Do you have a way to either grind or sand the metal part of the pad to gain some clearance? Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
am gonna buy the rear disk brake bracket setup for my 69 c10 and was wondering if you know of any performance slotted and or drilled rotors thatll fit in place of the factory style astro ones that u set it up to use ,like how you said that itll accept oem D52's or wilwood D52's.. ithere an upgraded rotor available that you know of?
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Just go to someplace like brakeperformance.com and get the same rotor you're looking for but with the added slots, or holes, etc.
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Any place that sells drilled and slotted rotors will have them for the Astro/Safari vans.
Take a look here.....several to choose from http://www.summitracing.com/search/p...stro/year/1995 Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
New to this whole thing, so I need these bracket and some Wilwood D52 calipers and Im good to go?
|
Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
You will need these brackets, any D52 caliper or the Eldorado calipers, the Astro rotord, some hoses, a disc/disc master cylinder, and a proportioning valve either for disc/disc, or an adjustable valve. There is a parts list that comes with the brackets for all the parts to install the brackets on your differential.
