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.....

You aren't kidding. Those are pricey. I guess I'll keep thinking. Not sure I want to go without a parking brake (not that I need or use it).

They are very proud of that caliper indeed. I would rather make the spacer for the puck caliper and use it in conjunction with my caliper of choice instead.

I thought about a differential pinion mounted parking brake setup using a single puck type mechanical caliper but for the work & parts involved it would be easier and cheaper to just run these on the actual brake rotors instead.

Adding a mechanical e-brake to this conversion bracket, is high on my list of to do's. I'm going to be ordering one of the Wilwood mechanical spot calipers soon.

If you do that and still have it laying around when I go to order mine (which I WILL be doing if you update this to have ebrake) I'll gladly buy it off of you.
