Yesterday, I went to the spring Carlisle car show just to walk around and look for tidbits of interest not really wanting to spend any $$.
I met a man with a complete set of early brake calipers all castings with #546 and completely stainless sleeved painted etc. He thinks they came from zip corvette and I am really not sure what rebuilder restores these for zip. I want opinions on the casting #'s on the sides of this LF caliper as some are different size, some look normal like I would expect and some small. On the very bottom of the caliper half in the first pic there appears to be stamped ARMASTEEL which I don't understand, all the other halves don't have this that I can see.
The workmanship looks very nice to me so I bought them as the 66 they were intended for got sold and the person selling them stated they had been sitting at his house a few years and he did not want to take them back home. The asking price was $225 which I thought was a very good price but I really did not want to spend $$. He asked me to make him a offer so I offered $100, he did not through anything at me and we agreed on 125 so I bought em..
