I'm trying to put together a set of rear brakes for my 9 bolt that's under construction and the calipers are missing a couple of important parts. Look at the attached exploded view of the caliper. I'm missing part numbers 19 and 22, labeled actuating collar and clamp rod. They come in a kit from the dealer with other parts, most of which come in rebuild kits, but ...get this...they're $118 each!!! Has anyone replaced them before and gotten them somewhere else? Anyone have a brake parts supplier?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Ed

You have new or used calipers?Either way they should be in the calipers.I bought new calipers fron Autozone when I did my swap and those two pieces are part of the actual caliper braking mechanism.Why are they missing for you?Did you buy used calipers that were partially diassembled?
