What year/model Caddy calipers?

[Vonski]

Dammit, I can't remember!

You know, the ones with the built-in e-brake mechanism dealy-yo.

Here's your chance to be the "smart kid" today Tacoma...

BTW, bonus points available for anyone who can tell me the correct application for 5 on 5 1/2 pattern rotors that go with these calipers.

Aren't they '79 Seville or Eldorado units? I thought the Ford truck rotor worked?

I'd have to check my receipt to be positive, but i think the one I had to buy to match the exact one on my ZJ was an 82 deville. The ones that marc just mentioned also have the ebrake. I don't know the difference.

as for rotors, my buggy used a rotor from a CJ7.

So what did he win...?

Oops, I was gone all day, or I'd have told you all that stuff the other smart guys already said.

The ones I am aware of are 7...76?-78 Eldorado rear calipers. And I have no freakin' idea about rotors with that cute bolt pattern.

A congratulatory phone call from Tacoma.

FWIW, '78 isn't new enough. Asking for an '82 El Dorado caliper is the ticket.

 

[Tacoma]

That'll probably be all I learn today.

[ALF]

[UNSTUCK]

Good call, Mike.

Speaking of calls....

I would like to add that the Eldorado Calipers suck. They don't stop you with a sh!t. I go through the trouble of switching then on and off once a year just to pass inspection. Just a for warning.

That is what I'm hearing. I am looking at the STaK t-case parking brake for my application now.
