Where to get RR reman brake caliper?

Post by nicktheviking »

I ordered 4 reman. brake calipers from kragen.com. Got 3 of them after 1 day, awesome. However, kragen is out of stock of the RR caliper. I ordered the RR caliper through napaonline.com and they just canceled my order, presumably for the same reason.

Anyone know of a place that has reman. calipers in stock? Kragen had them for like $30-40 a pop, so I'd feel like a heel dropping $100 at a place like IAP.

Two months already? Time flies...did you fix that rear brake cable over the muffler?

yeah, pope... i purchased some woven sleeves that look like asbestos weave. meant to protect a spark plug wire from exhaust manifold heat. since they came in a pack of two, i doubled up and fed both sleeves onto the hand brake cable; and clamped the ends of the sleeves to the brake cable so that they're centered under the exhaust pipe.

only time will tell if this works.

I ended ordering a different brand from Parts America. $89.99 + $60.00 core. Oh well, looks like I'll be eating canned peas for dinner.
