GM van rear axle questions

Yes. But my question hasn't appeared yet (and the link in my post above is not what I wanted... ). I'll let you know even if it's not exactly what you need it might give you an idea.

So here's the answer that I got: "We are developing parking brake calipers that we will hopefully have available this summer. In the mean time, you would need to use 1976-77 Cadillac El Dorado rear calipers to keep a parking brake."

Rockauto part just to visualize:

Wilwood makes some mechanical parking brake calipers, I haven't ever checked if they have ones that work with the rotor thickness you'll be running but it's worth a look.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

Great, I'll be glad to see what they come up with. Have not heard any good things said about the caddy calipers. Never tried them myself but heard they are a bad design. must be true or they would not be developing their own.

Thanks
