On the Eldorado calipers:
I have a friend who is trying to determine some of this.
I am selling a set of Seville calipers; both seem to be left hand calipers.
Seems that Eldorados may be right hand calipers;
Meaning:
The mounting for the calipers are front and rear of the axle centerline, instead of both being to the rear or to the front.
The friend seems to be determining that if you use one Eldorado caliper and one Seville caliper, the you could mount both either front or rear of the centerline....
How does this sound to all of you?
The 1978 Seville I pulled the brackets and calipers off of had the pass side caliper to the rear and the driver's side to the front of the centerline; the parking brake cables were long and short depending upon which side they were on.
So, in theory, he is suggesting to me that one could possibly use the Eldo and the Seville caliprs to the rear and use the longer parking brake cable on the shorter side to get the equal length back for the parking brake system to work.
Again, he is still theorizing this!
Also, it has been suggested to me that 1980 Seville calipers were both mounted to the rear; so this would correct prior year set-ups' cables locations.
The Seville axle flange brackets appear and seem NOT to clear 14" rims on the rear inside clearancing; although I have yet to check my GM factory disc brake base rims to see if they will clear those spacing locations.
The Seville flange caliper brackets will clear the 15" rims, as the Seville came with 15" rims and 5 on 5 wheel bolt patterns.
This was what my findings provided!
Hope it helps....
As for the Eldorados, I will ask the baord here to advise....

a line lock is a very bad idea for a parking brake, and if you have a state safety inspection, it'll probably keep you from passing.
you can get one that mounts on your driveshaft. They are a real PITA, but if you need an E-brake, and you've done up your rear like this.... it's about your only way out.
A line lock will bleed down...regardless of how good your set up is. A line lock also gives you no second system as an emergency brake.

A local mechanic has one front and rear on his truck and hasn't had any problems.He's had it for a number of years.We don't have an inspection so I don't care. Why is it so bad? It's stronger than a cable e-brake.
