This morning I started wire brushing my front disc brake calipers to get all of the road crud and loose rust off, I was also looking for the P/N's that should be cast into the housings....but I have come up with several #'s that were in various locations. How do I know which ones are the #'s I want for when I go to buy the rebuild kits?

Does anyone know?

btw....the #'s I have found are 6 digits in length, and both inner halves (obviously a L/H and R/H by virtue of fitting and line placement) have the same # on them...........

Maybe there's something that I don't understand here. However, when I want to buy a rebuild kit, I just go to the parts store and tell them about my car. Then they can give me the correct kit.

If your calipers are off a different car, you just have to tell them you need a kit for that car.

Didn't write down what car, forgot it? Uh oh.

Here is what you don't understand.......
1)Most part store dweebs are barely literate, the MORE info you give them,i.e.: part numbers, ESPECIALLY for a Classic, the less likely they will screw up and give you the wrong item.
2) The person I obtained the parts from said they were off a '65 Mustang, however the were sitting in a pile co-mingled with several other FORDs, and again, to verify I had the right parts, it would help to have the part #'s
Thanx for the non-help!
