Try www.calipersonline.com, I bought my rebuilt s/s Delco-Moraine calipers from them and sent them my cores. They are very good, located in Michigan and offer a lifetime warranty on their calipers when you buy them in pairs. Ask for Mark.

It will probably cost you more to ship them than you will be offered.

Note on shipping.
I just sent a set of calipers from NC to WI for $8.10.
The usps offers a "flat rate" box for free. If you can get it in the box, they will send it "any weight, to any state" for $ 8.10
I had to take the calipers apart and it was around 40 lbs, but away they went. The postal people arent crazy about this, but hey its thier deal, not mine.
They offer 2 sizes of boxes for this, but you must use thier boxes.
maybe this helps some.
Thats a good way to ship heavy car parts cheap!

while the core charge is usually $40+ each the rebuilders are buying them for $25...you pay the shipping....but USPS flat rate is a GREAT idea.....thanks

Maco is that your vettewagon in your avatar? If it is could you post pic's of it and did you build it or buy it. alot of the guys here don't like them but if they are done right I think they're cool. I think they were called nomads like the 2 door 57 chevy wagon.

Yea, thats my wagon. I have run the whole deal from NCRS to customs, and I am just happier with the custom cars.
I also have 2 makosharks. This is an eckler kit called a "sportwagon"
I do have one pic posted on the thread about black cars here, near the end of the thread.
I can email you pics if you wish, some folks here have a huge distaste for customs, and I dont want to start any more snot slinging.
sorry for the hijack.
