    has anyone used the little wilwood mechanical brake calipers for their emergency brake setup? looking to put them on my rear calipers just not sure how they mount. i am using a v8 quickchange so there is no room for the pinion mount emer. brake so i am going to put one of these little calipers on each side on my .810 discs.

    I had them on my mustang drag car. All wilwood brake set up.they did not hold very well, and if they did not release just right they would squeak.

    They are junk on a small diameter pinion mounted rotor may work OK on the larger rotor as above......................still will squeak & rattle. JMO
