I was reading through the disk brake threads and saw quite a few with aftermarket "L" type brackets using a spring between the bracket and brake arm to provide release/return pressure. However, I can't find a place that sells those parts.

I have the E-brake cables tied up out of the way and would actually like to get them working. Anybody have a link or source name?
 
I don't think you can buy those brackets by themselves anywhere. Those are found on Caddy Fleetwood and Sevilles though for reference.
 
i had custom ones made from az kicken 4 wheel drive.i dont know if they still goin or not.i havnt seen them on here in awhile.a lot of people make something themselves that works.its hard to find the calipers loaded with the arms and return springs.i think http://tsm.com also sells them but its part of their kit.

Caddy e-brake levers and springs. This is the only place I've found them.


I do have the brake arm and spring (original). However, I can't get them to work correctly with the brake lines I have.

I figured the simple answer was to use my original arm, with the L brakcet and spring configuration. The spring goes between the brake lever and the L bracket. Basically like the TSMmfg calipers.

My brake lines are not long enough either. The passenger side is good but the drivers side is to short. Even if I could get it to connect, I don't think it would work correctly. Maybe I am just over thinking it and need to buy a longer cable and see if it works.
 
Yes, that bottom picture Teck. That L bracket and the spring is what I am looking for. Thanks for the link. I think I will just order new cables.
