D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

[Captainfab]

Thank you for the purchase Matt

In case anyone is wondering, rockauto.com sells the Centric brand rotors, which is also branded as StopTech. Since I'll have corss drilled and slotted Wilwoods up front, i figured the rears needed to somewhat match.

Thanks for sharing the info on the rotors.

What is the part number for these ? Are they 1.28" wide? Do they have the same rotor for a front 1" rotor with c10 bolt pattern of 5x127?

Too be honest I didn't know private messages could be disabled. I will try to find the settings.

I nees to get some like that for my front on my '71 I have the wilwood rear brake kit and those do come as close as I can get to match. Part number I have for front is 127.66000 is that correct?

Finally managed to go pick up my parts and get these brackets installed, everything looked great and fit pretty much perfect. The outer bracket that bolts to the 4 bolt flange didn't quite clear the little ridge that it centers over, but I'm sure this was mostly due to my rear end being powder coated as well as the brackets being powdered, or slight variation of axle tube as it was only one side. Once I snugged the bolts down she popped right over and sat flush. Worst part about it all is that it probably took longer unpacking all the parts then to install. Well made and looks awesome, thanks Captain!!

Got the drilled/slotted ecoat stop tech for front. 127.66000 is part# of anyone needs 1.25"
They are some nice rotors. Summit sells for 120 each, got them to price match car parts.com for $80. Came with races installed. Nice quality product.

If this doesn’t get much I will ask in the general area, but got to cleaning up and test fitting my calipers and pads last night, and the A1 eldorado calipers have a solid piston. So my question is, is anyone using the anti rattle clips with the rear parking brake caliper, and if so how did you orientate the clips to work? The clip hits the piston seal with the solid pistons on my calipers as the long end has nowhere to go. Also, does anyone know how the park brake mechanisms works? Is it mechanical to push the piston out or hydraulic with volume displacement? Dry, I have no piston movement while rotating the park brake lever so that’s why I ask.

For my rear wilwood disk kit the park brake is Incorporated in the rotor. That is a good question.

The lever is pushing out the back side of the piston by means of a one way roller clutch. This will drift out as needed with wear. If doing a brake job and needing to make room for the thicker pads/rotors you turn the piston clockwise (as you look at the face of the piston) using a special tool or improvise as needed. This clockwise movement releases the clutch and allows it to move inward. If your piston does not move out i would suggest to install it anyway (you have a warranty). Some levers can be installed /clocked into many positions and on some you turn the lever in the direction as the cable would move it, remove the lever and reindex it to be able to grab some more and turn some more. My last eldo brake job was probably 35 years ago so i will leave the final sayso to someone that has done it recently.

When done if the lever does nothing after you have driven the truck and the hydraulic brakes work good i then would suspect broken roller clutch assemblies.

I've worked on subarus since the 70's and their pistons rolled clockwise inward, and then you would step on the brake pedal and this would push the piston out and eventually give a nice pedal feel, and then the emergency brake lever did it's job. First time i did a brake job i needed help and scratched my head many times trying to figure it out. I resorted to taking a caliper apart and then it all made sense. By the way, these subaru calipers were on the FRONT.

Looks good

Thanks for posting pics.

Captain, you still make these?

[Captainfab]

I make all of my products everyday. However I am currently out of the parts for the D52 brackets. I will have more parts in about a week. Let me know and I'll make sure you get a set from the next ruin of parts.

First off.... nice stuff !

What is the correct part number for the Wilwood calipers? I see 120-10938 and 120-10936, the only difference I see is the bore area??? Is it the same difference between the OEM D52 calipers JD5 and JB5 ?

Also, what are the part numbers for the brake pads that go in them? If I buy a complete stainless brake line set up for disc brakes will everything connect right up with no issues?

I'm trying to put some pricing together, thanks.

[Captainfab]

Which calipers depends on what you are running on the front. If you are going with the Wilwood dual piston D52 all around, you will want the 120-10936's with the 2.0" bores on the front and the 120-10938's with the 1.125" bores on the back. You typically want smaller pistons on the back.

I will be running a McGaugheys drop spindle up front, can I use Wilwood calipers on it?

Do you have a set powder coated in black ready to ship? $232 + 13.60 is what you said on page one... once you have them, I'm ready to buy.... just let me know. Thanks.

I mean 232 + 13.60 + 28 for powder coated black = 273.60 😀
