Like the Subject says. My buddy just bought a buggy with disks on it. But we don't know what the calipers are. Here is a pic. The only number we found are 288 or 233. The bleeders have been removed and replaced with plugs. In the pic there is a bolt head next to the bleeder. The brake line goes into the center of the piston. And i have no idea what the shinny metal tabs are for.
Any ideas?

passat2800 came very close but not exactly thats a 60's ford caliper from an LTD or Thunderbird. the bolt next to the bleeder is a pipe plug thats where the line used to go before someone drilled and tapped to put the line where it is now. wish i could tell you an exact part number but im very certain thats what it is. as for the shiny tabs im not sure those are not stock.

no prob but just dont hate me when im wrong. its not like i have grandmas old ltd in the garage but ive seen them a million times. I posted the pads to compare to yours to make sure before you go ordering parts or anything. the caliper i found at advance was exactly the same except the line went to the bottom with a banjo style fitting youll just have to look around to figure your exact model and year.

I figured passat2800 would chime in. from what I have heard and seen from him, I figured this was right up his alley. I really appreciate all the info everyrone puts in.
