I'm helping Chuck Kokesh change to rear discs. We need a pair of the bigger Cad park brake calipers like for a 76-78 Eldorado. We have nothing as far as hardware for the parking brake. I understand the levers are like hens teeth to find and reman calipers don't have them. Is the best option a new set from TSM? http://www.tsmmfg.com/3120.html

And on a related note does anyone know any reason why that caliper could not be used on all four disks at the rear?

Rear disks are a good idea
Larger pads are not necessary

I was thinking more of extra parking/emergency braking. the linkage and operation should be a reasonable thing to do with parts from the
like of http://www.controlcables.com/
