Yes, autozone told me the same thing, but when I went down to the
store, to order and pay for them they told me they just had a
listing , but were not really available. mike becker

For some reason, the local AutoZone says he can get 68-69 Bud,4 piston
calipers Loaded,(with pads) for $66.99,ea. plus core of $14.00 ea. Part no.
P4031, supplied by Morse.(I think he said that was the pair part no.) Call
and see. Dave.

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?
