I just picked up a set of loaded Caddy Calipers at autozone. $131.99 with core. For the core I used my old D30 CJ calipers and they didnt notice. My question is where to I get all the ebrake hardware such as the spring and the adjuster. Can I get it new? I am assuming that I need to get it from a donor in the boneyard. Thanks for any help:smokin: RK

Rob:

I pulled a set of calipers from a 83 Toronado and used these as cores for the AutoZone ($40 apiece unloaded, so your pricing is about right). Since you already got your core I would just go to PNP and unbolt those springs and brackets. The TSM site (www.tsmmfg.com) has a good write up on adjusting the ebrake and gravity bleeding the calipers. It took me forever to get all the air bubbles out.

good luck

No problem. BTW, I love your location. Is this a reference to Chris Farley and his motivational speaker character? Funny stuff.
