Hello,
I'm transplanting all the disk brake parts from a '75 Eldorado into my '66 Toronado. The rear calipers look a bit problematic as far as getting the parking brake to work, due to the different shape of the Olds rear axle vs the original Eldorado.

Looking at photos of later Eldorado rear calipers (1984), looks like those would work much better, as the parking brake arm is reversed. My question is - Will these work with the 1975 backing plates and rotor? These are two different generation Eldorados.
Thanks.
Mikel

can't say but you will need 68 up wheels to clear the calipers.but they did make 68-69 chrome wheels.

If the E arm is reversed would swapping the calipers help?? Right on left ETC. just watch the bleeder valve and make sure it isn't UPSIDE DOWN, or bleed it good before final bolt on.

Yes, I thought about flipping them, but -as you say- the bleeders would be facing down. Yes, I can bleed them before installation, but I like the cleaner solution of finding something that fits properly.

Thank you both.

Thank you Craig, but I already have quality pads for the rear.
