It's a PBR rear caliper, yes, but from what??? Check out the "funny" e-brake lever.

Corvette again, huh? Lemme guess...won't work on a F-body. I at least know the bleeder screw and brake hose hole are reversed; other than that, I haven't compared it to those on my car.

Revisiting an old topic:

To save a bit of time trying to figure how to make these work, anyone need a set of good condition 'Vette rear calipers? I have rebuild kits to go with 'em. I'd like to trade for Camaro rear alum calipers for my next 9 bolt or just sell them.

Thanks...

Ed

It could possibly be from a Ford or a Dodge also......

Stangs and Vipers ran the same type caliper as the GM counterparts, with some small but significant differences. But there is no reason why it would not work on an F-body. The anchor bracket is the critical part of this equation!!! The calipers are the pretty much the same.
