Rear Disc Calpier rebuild kits

[Aussie Ford]

Ok so I got all the junk to install the rear disc brakes, and like you all I had to clean up everything and paint the stuff (even though I got steelies and no one will ever see the paint job). I also got new pads, and rotors. So then I start looking for caliper kits to do a rebuild and NO ONE HAS THEM!! well I did find a shop here that is a major truck brake supplier / rebuilder. They said if you can get newly rebuilt calipers then someone is doing kits for them, and they found a supplier somewhere in Calif. I haven't received them yet, but they are supposed to be on the way. I'll believe it when I have them in hand.

SO, my question is does anyone know where caliper kits for the rears are available? These have to be the easiest ones I have ever done judging from the taking of them apart....

I could not find rebuild kits 3 months ago for the rears. I wound up buying rebuilt ones and swapping them.

Well I don't actually have them in hand yet, but they should be here in a day or so.

I got my parts and they are the right ones, so her is the info for the rear disc calipers:



These folks don’t sell to the public so I have included the contact info to find a dealer in your area. I bought the kits for my rear non SVT calipers from them via a local dealer here in portland, ore. $15 ea. A bit steep but the only game in town I could find at the time.

Centric Parts - In portland I got them through Brake Systems Inc, over around 21st & Sandy blvd by Timberline Dodge.
(brake parts) Contour rear caliper rebuild kit #143.61021, replaces #41175. $15 ea.

Just thought I'd revive this and say I ordered this repair kit from this place on-line. Guess I'll see how it turns out. The shipping was ridiculous. $10.95 plus $4.95 handling. The shipping costs more then the parts! Still it's the only place I can find that sells it, so eh gotta do what ya gotta do I guess.

Those kits do not come with a new dust boot. You can get the rear disc brake "rebuild" kits all over the place, but good luck finding the dust boot .....

[Aussie Ford]

Did you happen to check with any brake parts suppliers around to see if they could order them for you?

[blu_fuz]

I checked all over the place. I was also in contact with a caliper rebuild fascility and offered $ for just the dust boot. They would only give me a dust boot if I would buy the entire rebuilt caliper . .

I gave up after that.

I even got ahold of a powder coater in CA that does the rebuilds as well. He wouldn't give me any info except that where he gets his, he has to buy 100 of each size and that's the only way I could get them.
