Bought a five lug conversion recently but the rear calipers don't have an e-brake on them. Can anyone shed some light on what I have exactly.

What happened to the V-caliper? I don't see it on Eric's site anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

My set had no hardware I had to make my own pins and I'm looking for a pad spring solution. I know from davep (who used to make V-caliper up here, long time ago) that the through bolts are made of unobtainium as well. |

One solution to the bolts is to use the calipers that use through bolts and drill them out to take 8mm bolts which are readily available. They need to be higher then 8.8 grade. |
