1.25 rotor thickness parking brake calipers

[Motorcitydak]

Looking to add a small mechanical spot caliper to act as my parking brake but can't seem to come across any that are for a 1.25 rotor thickness. Wilwood makes some but the max thickness is 0.81 that I can find. They look bolted together, could I take em apart and make my own spacer to get the thickness I need?

Thanks! Not sure how I never came across those. Turns out that I fell down a hole of looking up parking brake calipers on Ebay. Currently looking into trying to run an electric caliper..... Will have to let you guys know if I can get that to work out

I'm looking for an electric parking brake setup myself.

I've been looking at Wilwood's parking brake system myself. They do offer a caliper for rotors of 0.81, 1.10, and 1.25 thicknesses. You have to make your own mounting bracket but that isn't too difficult. There is another company that I looked at that uses calipers from a Tesla but after I bought one off Ebay, I found it to be a little large for my use.

Following up on this thread to see what you guys ended up doing. I am looking to do the same on my end.

I looked for a bunch of options to do this same thing. I've got a Ford 9" full floater rear axle with 12.19" x 1.25" rotors. I had purchased some Wilwood GM-III calipers to run on the back but I didn't find any emergency brake options that I liked. So, I'm dumping the GM-III's and bought some '76-78 Eldorado calipers with built-in emergency brake from here: https://lugnut4x4.com/product/emergency-brake-kit/. They are new construction and fit the 1.25" calipers. They also sold some good weld-on brackets for 12.5" rotors, so i just have to shave them down a bit to properly fit my rotors.
