Thanks for the explanation Don. Still not clear on what was used for e brake when that axle was made. I also have to believe someone somewhere has service manuals or other detailed info on the original configuration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
They may have used separate spot calipers for parking brake was my thinking. Two separate systems, one for parking and one for stopping. Granted parking can always be used for stopping in emergency.
You wouldn't need to run fluid to the caddy caliper once it was pressurized. I believe those pistons don't retract after closing the pad gap. ..they have a threaded ratchet type mechanism and iirc the ebrake lever is adjustable..a splines shaft. Been a while since I dealt with those...same as vette.

I'll have to look at this setup Shawn.Perhaps if the stock stuff won't fit are we thinking of just running another caliper on the same rotor with the bolt spacing I currently have?

Maybe tomorrow?
So have the dash bezel reinstalled, and the interior cleaned after accumulating a bunch of junkBut when I went to find the floor mats, the weather tech things, I couldn't find themThey were next to some stuff I told the pre-rangers to throw away last Sunday nightYepGuess I'll be purchasing some new floor mats!!!!!!!!Suggestions??
