Brake caliper assambly needed

May 29, 2007 17 Replies

Putting the 63 Cruiser back together and the right brake caliper has gone missing. Anybody have one to spare?


The problem you'll have is with a used caliper assembly is the condition of the caliper bores and pistons. new ones are $90 each and I have the caliper brackets used, but calipers are shot.

There's a wonderful invention I heard of to communicate with people... I think it's called a telephone, I have heard that they may even be wireless and made small enough to carry in your pocket.

Otherwise use the Everybody Loves Raymond "AIS Rule"... AIS = Ass In Seat. If his ass isn't in the seat when you're scheduled to go, he stays home.

N8 ignores phone calls and he mails when he's busy, and he's swamped at work.

Nope, no debt on the books.

the question remains.........will N8 be 2 steps behind and to the left of Massa John?

I'm still @work... JP, I'll call you tomorrow to work out details, but it looks like I am going. Engineer comes back from vacation next week when hopefully things will be more sane.

I think all the wiper motors are the same as long as it's a 12V, 3-wire, but he may have to swap onto his existing bracket and swap existing harness on? not sure if you have one that doesn't need attention yet. ISTR that OCF hooked me up with a "parts" one so if I can ever get over there maybe I can see if I can make one work.

okay, Lee/ pass the paper tpwels. I just spewed root beer all over everything

Do you just need the caliper itself, or indeed the whole assembly with mounting bracket to knuckle, and with wheel cylinders and crossover pipe?

Thanks for the replies. I'm only going to make one or at most two runs, so I can't experiment much.
