I made an executive decision to rebuild this caliper, and now put it up for sale, in rebuilt condition.
This is whats known as a 1970 "WIDE MOUTH" Kelsey Hayes disc brake caliper, that was a one year design, that was used on the 1970 B & E body line of cars, and possibly a very early build 71, until the supply of these calipers was used up on the assembly line.
This is a RIGHT side, passengers side caliper, with calipers towards the front of the vehicle.
With the bleeder screw at the highest point in the mounting of the caliper, onto the spindle.
This caliper has the correct positioner pins, positioners, anti rattle spring, except for one "positioner" which is a replacement 1971 up, style.
Suspect that one got replaced the first time that this caliper got a brake job in it's lifetime.
Just letting you know about that.
You also get the caliper mount, to the spindle, and the old pads that i got along with this caliper, for you to match up, when you purchase pads of whatever brand that you prefer.
Or, use them as is, being there is plenty of usable pad life on them.
Date code on the caliper is 117 0
April 27, 1970
Everything was scrubbed clean in the solvent tank, soaked out in a 5 gallon pail of Evaporust, painted with VHT high heat paint, cast iron grey.
Last pictures are what the caliper looked like, before i decided to rebuild it.
I only have this one caliper.
Don't ask about the other side.
Wish i did have it's mate.
Only could find this one, in a stash of parts, in an old barn.
Selling everything at $300.00, plus $22.50 for the mailman, in an insured package, and a signature delivery at your end.
Serious buyers, send me a pm thru this forum, and i will get back with you.
Thank's a lot.
