PBR Caliper Parts

Hi guys. So I'm under the IROC redoing the brakes. I took off the rear calipers and looking at the p/s rear, the lever that actuates the parking brake inside the caliper is broken! It snapped off clean in a semicircle right at the pivot bolt. Weren't the PBR rear calipers used on '89-92 cars, and where would be the most convenient place to find one? I don't want to buy a whole new caliper and I don't want to wait forever to put the system back together just for this one lever!

Go to Autozone and buy the whole PBR caliper would be your best and quickest bet. You will spend a lot of time searching for that part. My opinion.

rebuilt calipers suck ***. believe me, atleast the pbr rears for our cars. i purchased a pair of complete caliper assemblies w/pads, ready to bolt on, from Oreilly's (A1 rmfg). they were the source of my headaches until i rebuilt a old set i had laying around. the dealer said the pistons were sticking and staying bottomed out in the bore. now the set i rebuilt work great . never again. oh well. best of luck.
