hello, just to start off and say this is a very good site full of information and helpful fellow buggy builders?

I just bought a rolling frame that had been put to together from a kit, don"t know what kind but you can tell it was not welded at a factory level, but any how it has disc brakes on the rear but one of the calipers is frozen up. Can someone tell me what kind of caliper I have by the numbers cast into the housing on the caliper?

Heres what is cast into it: VWII 100521 KH 05.

Any help you will be great cause I don"t have a clue what it is, or How to replace it with one from a auto parts house.

If it does it is a Varga.

Stopped by oreillys today and they crossed over the casting numbers and had a match, but had to order, not in stock, but I forgot what it was support to fit, I will see tomorrow.

thanks for the support.
