Has anybody on here done this? I was wondering who makes a good bracket for a reasonable price? I have a file for the bracket and a spacer that goes behind it. Would it be cheaper to have someone make it for me?

I've got them on and its worth the effort. Diy4x sells them for a good deal.

yeah, I highly recommend getting the setup that DIY4X has, the price is damn good, and the products are top notch...
on another note, anyone know where a good source for either caddy calipers, or wilwood calipers with the ebrake provision??

The best price on the calipers I found was at Advance Auto Parts. I've had them on for a couple years and still havent hooked them up. :roll:

lol, trade me for my regular ones then, I'll even pay shipping both ways! :thumb:

How much are the caddy brakes. How do they work? I've read somewhere that they aren't for bigger tires on large rigs. I have a CJ so I would think they would work ok.

The d.i.y. brackets look good. I like the idea of having the plate spacers instead of having the smaller pipe like spacers for each bolt.

I'm going to hook them up soon. I'm probably gonna have to have them to get an inspection sticker. My old inspector is 160 mi. away.

The caddy calipers work just fine. They are like most standard gm calipers, just with an internal mechanism for the parking brake. I dont remember how much I paid. Do a search and you will probably find a previous thread where I listed the prices.

I ordered the brackets from DIY today. They should get here in two to three weeks. I think the caddy calipers are the way to go for me. Hopefully I can have everything put back together by spring. I keep getting alittle at a time.

I have heard alot about the caddy calipers but haven't heard if 15" wheels will work. I would like to use the larger 76-78 calipers and was wondering if they would fit a 15" wheel?

Your disc conversion kit will ship on Monday so you should have them by this coming weekend for sure.

:thumb: GREAT!! Ahead of schedule. :beer: I'm looking forward to getting them on. Any idea on the 15" rims? Also, what are the best e-brake cables to use? I've read xj cables work.

 

[cybrfire]

As far as e brake cables go I haven't a clue. I took everything of my ebrake and pitched it. Even the pedal. :rotfl:

I haven't heard of any body having trouble with 15" rims. Have you heard of interference??

Local friend of mine has 15's on his with my kit and didn't have problems. Maybe its his backspacing
