76 77 78 eldorado rear disc calipers

[bp71k5]

Looking for a set of rebuildable rear ebrake style calipers from an 76-78 eldorado. Let me know what you got.

I think I've got a pair complete with levers. I'll check today and let you know.

Cool, let me know. I gotta decide between new and used pretty soon.

Ok, found the box. I got these with a bunch of parts in a truck I bought.
They are shown on the invoice as 1980-85 Eldorado calipers, left and right rear calipers. I did not remove them from their packaging, but they are used--I assume rebuildable cores.
The guy paid $105 plus shipping for them, from Cadillac Auto Recycling in Rancho Cordova, Ca.
I'll ship them to you for $100

Thanks, but I actually need the 76-78 calipers.

I believe that I have one side reman in the box. Any interest?

Thanks, but I actually need the 76-78 calipers.

What, exactly is the difference between the 76-78 models, and the other(mine are 80-85 supposedly)? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks, Jimbo

The 76-78 have a larger piston and rotor thickness. You can use rotors from the front of the k5 with those.

The 79-85 are just a little smaller and require a thinner brake rotor. I'd have to measure the thickness to know the difference, but the 79-85 can be used with 12bolt rear ends and the 76-78 are used with the 3/4 and 1 ton rear ends.

Someone feel free to correct me if I got any of the details wrong. Thanks for checking though!
