Do they make a caliper rebuild kit? I bought them from Latest Rage but i don't know what brand they are. They are the $200 rear disk brake kit.

I don't know if they do or not. I think you can buy them new for not to much money. Thats what I have done. I belive you can go to a parts store and order rear calipers for a 72 volvo 142 and they are the same. Advanced had them in stock. Compare them before you buy 'em. I may be wrong.

Those are Karman Ghia front calipers.
VW Part number is 311 615 107/8.

If you can't find one local, I can hook you up.......... :)

When Gary says he'll hook you up that usually means he gonna give you a good deal. He's very knowledgeable and has no BS. He hooked me up with a BMD pulley system and save me $40 to $50 bucks. Try him, you won't be disappointed.

Ok i went to a buddy of mines shop and we did some searching and made a call to Napa and we think we have come up with a complete rebuild kit and it should be here friday. If it works ill post the Napa part number. If it don't work ill just order a caliper on Monday.

Turboblue thanks for the part number and the price check. what all do you sell? In the future i would rather give money to board members instead of random companys.
