Hi Tom and 68 owners.
You can get the calipers at carquest--auto
zone---advanced auto they are order only not stocked.
I got mine from advanced auto for $109.00 I think
they have gone up in the past 3 years.
You can get the pads on ebay that is were I got
mine.
I do have an extra set that I do not think is
frozen that is when I took them off 3 years ago I will sell if any one needs
them.
Hope this helps.
Bob H 68 Imperial convertible in MD.

Subject: IML: Please WELCOME New Members,
Tom & Yolanda Csibor (1968)
Thank you
for the welcome. This 1968 Imperial we just purchased is a one family car and
has 86k original miles. It was purchased new in San Francisco and has spent
most of her life in Sacramento and San Jose. She has been sitting for a couple
of years now and has several "issues". The body and interior are quite good,
but the brakes and electrical system are in pretty sorry shape. First item on
the agenda are the brakes. The infamous Budd Calipers are frozen solid.
Fortunately, the rotors are still in good shape. I understand that Cardone has
remans and that upgrades to the 1971 - 1973 Imperial front end is possible.
Before I go that route, I would like to attempt to resleeve and rebuild my
current ones. I have a small machine shop in my garage, so can do the
resleeving, however, my search for the rebuild kit has proven futile. Does
anyone know where I may be able to purchase the rebuild parts?(piston, seals
ad boots).
Many
thanks.
Tom
