Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Sorry but no I do not have an update. I just have not had time with as busy as I am with my regular work. I worked 99 hrs in 6 days from last Thursday to Wednesday. Now I'm back to my normal 70-80 hrs a week.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Does anyone have any ideas on how or where to hook the parking brake spring? My truck is 99.9% finished. The only thing I need to do is hook up the parking brake so I can get my truck inspected. Any help would be greatly appreciated even if Redneck engineering is involved. I only need the parking brake to work once for inspection and I need to get it inspected this week. Thanks!

Are you talking about the return spring on the caliper, or something different? Early in this thread there is a picture of an Eldorado caliper with the spring on it.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Thanks Capt. I got the spring routing figured out but I'm now struggling with the E- Brake cable. I just can't figure out how to mount the cable. Do u have pictures of the cable brackets yet? I just need a quick fix to pass inspection until you have time to make the real levers and brackets. Also will the original e-brake cable work or are we going to need an extension? Thanks!

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Let me see if I can get a couple finished tomorrow or Friday. I'll let you know.

Do you know the vehicle application for the JB/JD7 calipers with 3-5/32" pistons? I have never seen a D52 caliper with anything different from the 2 15/16" piston. Thanks.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Never seen a D52 caliper with an E brake, the Caddys are D154 calipers unless you know of some?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

The JB/JD7 calipers were an option on the C20 and K20's. Year wise, I do know they were available in the mid to late 80's, but I do not know for sure on just other years they were available.


The '76-'78 Eldorado calipers technically are not a D52 designation, but they are the same physical size and shape, and with the same 7.062" center to center measurement on the mounting bolts, as the D52 calipers. The D154 calipers were used from '79 and up and are smaller, with a shorter mounting bolt dimension.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Yes, I figured out that it's a GVW thing, there's even a JB8 larger piston version for heavier trucks. I had never heard of this since I'm a 1/2 ton guy myself. Thanks for the info.

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/DOT-Br...-20,36151.html will these work for the rear conversion?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

Yes those will work just fine, as long as your calipers have 7/16"-20 threads for the banjo bolt. If not you will need the hoses with the M10 banjo bolts.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I just double checked those part numbers, and those are correct. The number 18-4035 should be the right side, and the 18-4036 is the left side. I don't know what that 3" and 2-3/4" measurement is, but it sounds to me like someone misboxed one of those calipers. I would take it back and get another one. You do not want to put two left side calipers on there. You'll never get it bled.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

I'm guessing that the caliper on the right is for a 1" thick rotor.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
 

If you use that new caliper on the right side, the bleeder will be on the bottom, and you will never get all the air out of that caliper, unless you rig up some sort of way to do it when removed from the caliper bracket. This is why calipers are made as lefts and rights.
