I was thinking since lots of people run rear disk with a e-brake on the output shaft on there x-fercase (I dont like this cuz a budie broke his rear U-joint and his drive shatf took out the brake line but he used his e-brak to stop and the front as well, good thing he still has drums) So I was thinking can you use the caddy e-brake calapers in the front on say a HD 44 and ruout the e-brake cabel to the front. It may look silly but who cars as long as it woks.

what ya think

Caddy calipers are aweful small. Not going to provide enough braking when used in front, especially on a truck.

what he said....DON'T!


:usa:

well that seteld that

thanks

the caddy calipers are what i believe they call the metric caliper, they are a bit smaller than the regular 1/2ton 7/16" bolt spacing gm front calipers. I remember reading somewhere that on certain eldorados or maybe even another vehicle with the same caliper setup....used a caliper very similar to the caddy metric but was a fullsize 7/16" gm caliper....if this is true you could use the big ones and get what you want I think it would work, but the caddy calipers are finicky.

76-77(or maybe 78) eldorado rear calipers are the ones that are the same size as half ton fronts.
