I'm having the same problem finding the left side caliper.
Will Cardone rebuild mine without ripping me off? Goldline will rebuild you
calipers in PAIRS only, for $350. EACH!

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 Message -----

As Chris correctly pointed out,
you don?t want a mirror type reflection ? the right surface is a frosty
appearance such as you would get from spray aluminum paint.
Actually, in the case of all
3 of the 67-68s I?ve owned, just taking the fixture apart and carefully
cleaning and polishing the lens and reflector has rewarded me with brand new
looking tail lights, which are very bright and clear looking ? you couldn?t
hope for anything better.

Can someone
explain what "vacuum chromed" is?
Also re the
reflectors and spray paint, what about if you got some of those mirror tiles
and glued them behind the bulbs?
