@@peterhatch1583 yeah I don’t know. In all my newer videos all parts are in the description. Those ones came in a kit, but I think are just rebuilt eldarado front calipers. But I’m not sure if they modify them or not.
Have you used the service brake on those calipers with any decent loads? I tried them maybe 10 years ago. Worked ok on slight hills with a rig weighing at least 8k. Add a trailer and it was a no good. No trailer on a real hill... no good Frequently gave the impression it would hold, but ever so slightly it would creep, and if left long enough it would gain momentum to roll. Put drum brakes back on and never worried again.
Not on these ones, but on this type yes. They are not great. They'll work for this thing, but for a truck thats towing, a guy would probably be better off going with a hat in drum style off a newer truck.
@@DeathTollRacing Thanks for the confirmation. It aligns with all the guys that actually try them out. I've kicked the idea around for a drive line brake, but it is low on the priority list.
Do you have a part number for those calipers please

This is them in the kit. Give them a call, they can probably sell you just the calipers if needed.
Its strange with most of utubes dont like giving part numbers but take the 55% payment from us watching and subscribe

Gavin that's pretty cool what you did to the end of that metal line.
Thank you. Hopefully this will help people who run into this sort of thing.
super nice result - another fab tip 👍😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I looked for part 1 of the emergency brake install on your channel but it doesn’t seem to be there
DTR S1 E9 P2: 14 Bolt FF Rear disc brake conversion on Project 4x4 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon
This is the first part. I need to go through and rename the videos

Are you still going to have room for exhaust? Nice job.
I will find a way ;)
