i got the caliper from vette brakes. the outright purchase set no core change.
all new s/steel+orings.
new rotors all round,and hubby made up new pipe work.
it was a pity about stripped mounting hole,but helicoil worked good,hubby tightened it with 24" breaker bar and it took all he pulled ok.Smile
