Default Calipers @ O'Reilly's

Has anyone bought caliper's from O'Reilly's. I was there tonight and the are Delco Moraine calipers casting #'s 5473796 565. Are these any good? would they be "O" ring equipped and stainless steel sleeved?
$63.99 per caliper. with a $60 core.

They're almost certainly stainless sleeved but with the stock lip seals. Probably remanned by Cardone. Should be fine quality-wise.

A very good re-builder that supplies nationwide....

A whole list of products are re-manufactured by them. I wouldn`t be surprised if the Vette vendors merely re-boxed their products and sold them as their own. Here's a short list that I sold

Electronics.... computers, distributors,
Steering control valves and gears
Master cylinders
waterpumps
calipers

Plus they R&R special orders....

The calipers on my 72's rear are from Advance ( rebuilt). Same as what came off the car.

A fair number of the Vette vendor's calipers come from VB&P, unless I've missed my guess.

Have four on my car. Has only been four months and 1000 miles, but no problems. I was surprised, had everything in stock, even front hoses. Didnt ask if they were sleeved. With lifetime warranty I didnt care.

The one on my right rear is from O'Reilly's. Not a problem and it has been on there for over a year.

when I found my vette about 4 years ago I needed to replace the master brake cylinder. so I went to auto-zone purchased one just to get her home. I was thinking I would chg it later when I was restoring the beast. Its been on & working for 4 years plus and never failed me or leaked yet. $59.00
