    Leaking caliper

    The right front caliper on my 65 is leaking and needs to be replaced. Where can I get correct caliper with the right cast number?

    Also think about getting your original rebuilt.

      Steve -

      Do you know that you have the 1st-design casting number caliper? Do you know if it has already been sleeved? Not many calipers left out there that haven't already been sleeved in 40 years.

        Corvette Stainless Steel Brakes (advertise in Driveline) can get them for you, at least they did for my '67-will have to ask about '65's.

          If the one you have is original (or, at least correct) the caliper halves will have casting numbers beginning with "546". If they are "545" or "547", then they are replacements as far as your car is concerned.
