Hello.Does anyone know for sure if the calipers for Ghias,say 66 to 72,can be used on a 72 bus?They sure look the same except for a second bleeder.I only ask because I can get a killer deal on a NOS pair and am in need.Mine can't be rebuilt(1 is siezed,1 is cracked).Steve
not sure about them working but i do know that the ones with two bleeders are "universal" for either side...

They are completely different.

The bodies are certainly universal, but the original calipers used pistons with cutouts on one side. These have to be assembled in a particular orientation, and once assembled they are either lefts or rights, but not both.
Later brazilian replacement calipers did away with the cutouts in the piston faces and were thus fully "universal" as you said.
