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

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 -----

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?
