Hi Guys

I'm in the middle of upgrading my brake system on my 86 and wanted to finish off with the Rear Caddy Seville/Eldorado Brake Calipers Upgrade.

I read all of the posts on this and to contact (DPWOOD) on here to purchase the adapters from him.

It's been over a week now and no response from Private Messages on the forum to a direct email to him or to (Arns85GT)

Is there anyone else that makes these brackets?

I need to finish up the car and this is holding me up.

If anyone knows how to get in touch with either of these 2 guys above (ph#, etc...) please let me know

Thanks in advance
Dave M.

Hi LT188GT

Are you sure V8 Archie.com sells the rear Caddy Caliper Adapters?

I took a quick peek on their website and see they sell the LeBaron/11" rotor setup..... I'm using 91 Grand Am Front Rotors for the front and back.


Thanks
Dave

DPWood here on the forum makes the brackets for the Cadillac calipers on Grand Am rotors. Or at least he used to. PM him and see if he still does.

I did IM/text DPWOOD on here as well as send him an email and got no response.


I also just called Archie @ www.v8archie.com at the suggestion of the other member that posted on here.

He does sell the adapters for the rear Caddy Seville/Eldorado Brake Calipers, but for use on Lebaron 11" rotors.

I'm using 91 Grand Am Front rotors (9-3/4" od) to fit my Countach Replica 15" wheels.

Hi Dave.

Arn phoned me at home to let me know you were in a hurry about some brackets and I just PM'd you.

I haven't been on the forum much lately and i can also be a few days between e-mails when I'm working. 12 hour night shifts leave me ready to drop when I get home sometimes. I will try and have set of brackets finished up and ready to send out tomorow morning.....but that is dependant on how busy I am at work (where I have access to a lathe/welder). I can slip personal projects into the shop if there aren't too many breakdows on other equipment.

to answer your question, the cost is currently, in the US, $50 plus shipping which is normally $15.

Hope this helps.

Gents

Just give him a call @ 519-765-2235 and you can also submit $65.00 shipped payment to him @ dpwood@amtelecom.net

I just spoke to his wife and gave him the heads-up that more brackets were needed for us fellow Pennock's Fiero Forum Members.

Big thanks to Arn
Mine were shipped out yesterday

Hi Guys.

Thanks for getting on and posting about the pricing so people didn't have to wait for the between shift time I have to get online.

I can have 2 more sets brackets ready to go out the first of the week. After that...I need about a week of lead time to have the blanks laser cut.

They were both very helpful when I did my brakes
