    Lonestar Caliper Co. Does not reply to emails

    Hi,
    I am trying to buy a set of front, first design calipers from Lonestar.
    Have emailed them and no reply. I have tried to purchase from their website and there is no buy button to transfer the purchase to my cart! They say they are wholesale only, but don't say who their dealers are.
    I purchased the rear set for my corvette 10 years ago from them and have never had any problems The front set were sleeved in Australia and they keep leaking.
    Can you recommend a dealer that will ship to Australia?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Gary,
    I believe they sell wholesale only. No retail sales. Once you establish an account with them and log in then you will see a price and the ability to purchase.

      Yes, I have done that, it gives the price but there is no buy button. They wouldn't imagine that they have a dealer in Australia. I bought the rear set 10 years ago from them, no problem.
      I also have tried to contact them on their Facebook page. Maybe the Virus has got them!

          Lonestar sells to the public every day, but you have to do it the old fashioned way. By phone.

          The lady who answers is extremely helpful, and will get you set up.
          Yes, I know Australia is several hours different in time, but it works.

              Ask for Ken..........the owner. He goes out of his way to help us Corvette guys.

              PS: Do you really want first generation calipers as originally manufactured but with SS sleeves, or do you want calipers with the first generation casting numbers that are SS sleeved??? Most rebuilders over the years will modify the first generation calipers to take second generation (and more common) pistons.

              You also need to know if you still want lip seals.........or if you want o-rings for sealing.
