My disclaimer first, I do not work for this company!
I took this photo, of a new design over the Eldorado calipers. This is a manual type e-brake caliper. I have a couple other pics, but I need to ask first before I can post them up, they have been working on these for over a year now.
They knew I had this one, and said ok to it.

Added some more pictures, currently these use a standard chevy disk pads one is modified (sorry no pics). This is the second revision to this design they are not happy with the e-brake cable bracket. They are currently redesigning it.

There was a question on if they would work with ruff stuff or DIY brackets, I do not know, he did not have any to try to fit it to.

The name of the company is TSM, I do not work for him. But to be very honest, I'm dating his daughter. He is looking into, if this is worth the time to do it, I told him yes as the eldo design blows and is out dated. Let them know if this is something worth doing, his daughter sees my post...so post up...

Yes, that is my rear 14 bolt, I'm running 17" wheels and we did not have a 15" to compare it to for fitment.

Dang big caliper for parking brake ... does it, by chance, use the same size pads as the stock fronts, and the same mounting?

Not bad if it integrates well. I've been dubious of the eldo caliper e-brake solutions and it's kind of a requirement with a manual trans!
 
How about some better pics without the sunny background? And some closeups on both front and back sides, too.
 
Definitely need to know if it fits in aftermarket brake caliper brackets we use on the rear axle.ie DIY4X, Ruffstuff, ect.
 
i almost wonder if its like the dual caliper disk setup that kurt has?

in it to wait and see if you can get permission from the vendor to show us some pix.
 
I need an e brake to pass inspection. I'm interested to see how to mount the second caliper.
 
i am interested too thats my whole hold up on my 14b swap is the ebrake i wanna go disk but have to have ebrake

Welding up two brackets into one is easy.

Sourcing a mechanical caliper that's the same size ... that's the tricky part.

if he could make a well designed/functional setup that was cheaper then the eldo design, pretty sure hed own the market, especially if he found a way to use an existing marketed bracket and make a package with it.

look at how many people spring for the eldo setup as an extra $150-200 over the standard setup, even knowing its not as good as it could be.
 
Looks like theres the mounting bracket and 2 spacers between it and the axle mounting. If you halved the bracket in the pictures and used 1 spacer between the new bracket and the current bracket it "should" mount up on the inside of a ruffstuff bracket thus making it compatible (if you're accounting for the 3/8" thick ruff stuff bracket, though i dont know the materiel thickness of ORD or DIY4X brackets).

Ive got ruff stuffs brackets on my 14 bolt and I'm local (monument/springs). I've even got the stock ebrake cable zip tied under the truck. Let me know if those dudes want to use my setup as a template. I'd even do it out of the goodness of my heart and wouldnt even ask for a discount should they can figure something out.

.....................ok so i might not be able to live up to that last sentence :D.
 
I need these

Swapping gears as we speak. Brakes are next. I'd really like to have an ebrake, I need these. Keep us posted

I wish I could say these were sourced, the set you see in the pictures is totally 100% hand built.

We definitely need more info on this, I need an e brake.

What kind of info are you looking for?

Some things I may be able to get an answer on, fabrication and what is involved to make it work more than likely will not happen.
Please understand the time and man hours in doing this, to many people are quick to copy and this is not done yet.
