Grrr 14bff disc break conversion

[cuervo]

Man, all the parts stores around here, napa, auto zone, advanced auto, and Oriely say they can't get the driver side rear caliper for caddies! There's no really good salvage yards around here so I'm kind of stuck. I did find one online vendor that has them for 73 plus a 16 dollar core charge.

I guess I'm stuck waiting for a week or two now.

You can buy the calipers brand new from TSM. http://www.tsmmfg.com/3121.htm

They aren't the cheapest but they're brand new and no core charge and they come with brakets and springs.

Awesome, thanks for the link.

Good luck finding the used ones. I checked every single parts store I could find. For some reason they all list them as available, but when you actually try and order them, they are out of stock...

Brian, did you ever order them from TSM like you said you were?

Yes, I ended up having to buy the pair from TSM. They are a good quality caliper and it's nice to have them new. I'm just waiting on some ebrake cables to actually be able to use them.

Where did you order your brake cables from? I know there is a link on Bills sight for a vendor but I've not gotten that far yet.

I ended up finding the calipers in stock at www.autopartswarehouse.com

Those are without pads I think they list them as semi loaded and come with all new hardware less the e-Brake lever and return spring.
