[T3] brake caliper question


heya,

I have a 69 squareback and while replacing the brake pads on the front 
drivers side, the bleeder valve broke off as I loosened it slightly. I 
attempted to use one of those EZ-out hardened steel awls to hammer into the 
broken valve and wrench out with a pair of pliers - but the awl broke off as 
well!

the good thing is the valve is now plugged ;-) but it's VERY risky and I 
won't even attempt to drive it down the block. and there is no way to pull 
out the awl. so I need to get a new brake caliper.

the local NAPA store can order them for 71 and later models, so my question 
is:

can I use brake calipers for a 71 model on a 69?

your help is greatly appreciated,
-allen
