Thanks,
Am going thru the brakes and converting them to dot 5 (silicone
fluid). I am replacing all components at this time as that is the only way to
changeover to the dot 5 without problems, have been able to find all
components except calipers . I got the hoses from carquest, the rear shoes
from carquest, the master cylinder from (new) from raybestos, but the
calipers (which I have bought before with no problem) where either not listed or
not available from every auto parts store I called. I went on line and found
them at rockauto but only for the r/h side, they gave me the number for
a1cardone, called them and they said they did not have any cores for the left
side, thus no rebuilds. the front pads gave me fits untill I
called C>H>Topper in california and he told me that corvette d8 or d9 pads
are similar and he could make me up a set for 28.00 bucks so I have everything I
need except a left hand caliper, I got a budd caliper rebuild kit (New old
stock) from ebay, but I cannot get one of the pucks out of the the caliper
without destoying the puck I am afraid. Does anybody have an EXTRA brake puck
that they can part with ? so I can get this together. thanks, mike Ps I
will be posting more detailed part numbers and sources for the brake parts ,
maybe they can be added to the 67-68 part of the website ----- Original
