Default e-brake puck caliper help

Hello,

?I am using a the Wilwood version which is identical to this one.

Is anyone else using this setup for their ebrake.

If so, please post some pictures so I can get an idea how to make this work.

If you are using something else with the 8.8 IRS please let me know so I can change my setup.

My rear caliper is a wilwood Dynalite.

Wilwood used to make a matching rear bracket for these calipers but the have long since stopped. I have them on a 9" on my Mustang. I also have a set on my VSE Cobra but the brackets were welded to the axle directly vs. the wilwood that had a combo for the Dynalite rear and puck type caliper. For the IRS I don't have much of a clue, but you could make a bracket that mounts both the Dynalite and the Puck Caliper likely pretty easily. What seems to be the easier route for parking brakes are Cobra Calipers (I think that is where they are off) that have the integral brake lever. And as long as you can get the brake pad of your desire might be a good way to go. Wilwood also has a new caliper with the mechanical ebrake, not sure if it is Dynalite style or more OEM'ish. The only down side might be getting brake pads in racing compounds, but I would expect that might not be such a problem these days.

Just found this with the cobra brake

Default wilwood ebrake caliper

hello, I have those calipers on my ebrake set up, with CSX4000 uprights & dynalite calipers. We had to fabricate all of the caliper brackets on the CNC mill for the front, rear & ebrake calipers. I will send you a photo of the ebrake braket asap.
regards, karl

Coolest parking brake set up I've ever seen is on a Kirkahm. I don't know if it's available or just a one-of though.
