Re: [T3] front left brake caliper needed

["Martinez, Leon" <martinezl@ftscpac.navy.mil>]

Jack,
 I just bought a pair of calipers this weekend at Foreign 
Discount Auto Parts each cost me 63 bucks new, not cheap
but I needed mine now and VEE parts offered the rebuid kit in 
a week since the ones on my car were after market made by
VARGA of Brazil , the kit is not off the shelf available, I did not 
want to wait. I have the two bad ones that need rebuilding , they 
were leaking and and caused the car to shake as if both rotors 
were crooked, (BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATED PADS) . It is smooth now. 
You can either rebuild yours with a 16.00 dollar KIT from VEE Parts if 
it is the original ones that came with the car, seems very easy to rebuild.
or you can buy the replacement ones from VARGA, I do 
not know if rebuilt units are sold, VARGA units are sold outright, 
my car is super steady again. The easy alternative is not cheap, 
I know. I assume you do not want to rebuild yours or my old ones. 
Let me know what you decide.

I thought a 1966 car had brake drums.
