I am trying to get my rear calipers rebuilt on my early 72. The prices are outrageous ($170 per caliper!) does anyone konw if any year rear caliper will work? I also have heard that front calipers will work on the rear (no e-brake though). does it have to be an early caliper or late?
I am in the middle of switching to five lug. Heres the situation: I have SC front struts/ brakes. I could remove the BMW 320 calpiers on the fronts now and put them on the rear. I would like to go stock in the rear but over $300 for calipers, thats crazy. How difficult is it to rebuild the rear calipers? Thanks All Mark |

Hi Mark,
I'm just finishing up a rebuild on one of my rear calipers (also a 72, but I think all years are the same). Got the re-build kit from AA (not a plug--but they were the only ones that had the o-rings for the adjusters). Not too bad a job--I've got a copy of an old issue of European Car that gives step-by-step instructions with pictures. I'll try to scan a copy, and will let you know here if it works. Best, Steve A- |
